Tariq Parveen, an aide of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, was deported from Dubai to Mumbai and arrested by the police late on Monday night.
He is wanted in connection with the Sara Sahara illegal shopping complex case in south Mumbai involving underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim's younger brother Iqbal Kaskar, who was deported last year.
Parveen had expressed a desire to Dubai authorities to return to India and face the legal consequences for the crime he allegedly committed before he fled to the Gulf country.
