Republic TV's investigation
Republic TV’s investigation raised some uncomfortable questions about DHFL’s role. Investigation revealed that a company called Sunblink Real Estate Private Ltd, which was involved in developing properties in Mumbai for Dawood Ibrahim’s right-hand man Iqbal Mirchi, received loans from an NBFC to the tune of Rs.2,186 crores. This has also been acknowledged by the agency. Republic TV accessed certain company documents which indicated that the NBFC in question could be DHFL. The agency too suspects that this loan received by Sunblink could be the proceeds of crime which perhaps may have been used in terror activities.
Following Republic TV’s mega investigation, ED carried out searches at the DHFL office in Mumbai. On Monday, Kapil Wadhawan of DHFL also joined the probe and handed over certain documents to the agency. Both the Wadhawan brothers could be called in for questioning once again, say sources.
