Ex-Mumbai cop arrested Dawood in '81
By M. B. Maramkal

He is India's most wanted man suspected of masterminding the 1993
serial blasts in Mumbai and figures third on Forbes' most wanted
fugitives list. But for 86-year-old Shanker Sadashiv Vaidhya, a
retired police officer from Mumbai, he was just another criminal on
the streets of Mumbai whom he arrested in 1981. Vaidhya who worked
for Mumbai police before settling here in Hosayallapur area was the
last person who arrested Dawood Ibrahim before he went underground
and fled the country.
"In November 1981 I was ACP in charge of Mumbai airport, and Dawood
was wanted in an attempt to murder case. I got a tip-off that he
would be at the airport. I literally dragged him by his shirt collar
when he entered the airport before remanding him to custody," Vaidhya
recalled. "He was a stubborn man," he adds.
"At the time he offered me Rs 30,000 as bribe for letting him free,
but I stoutly refused. However, to my shock he was released on bail
the next day," he claims, sharing his memories about Dawood. He says
that by the time he had arrested Dawood at the Mumbai airport, he had
gained notoriety in Mumbai's underworld.
