Dawood's sister Haseeena Parkar absconding

Mumbai, Apr 25 (UNI) Haseena Parkar, sister of India's most wanted mafia fugitive Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, absconded yesterday from her Nagpada residence after a police search party failed to arrest her in connection with an extortion case.

It is learnt that Parkar went missing from her Nagpada residence after a local court yesterday turned down the anticipatory plea of Kishnamilan Shukla and Sandeep Shukla, who were arrested immediately.

Earlier, a local developer Vinod Avlani had filed a complaint against eight persons, including Parkar for cheating him of Rs 30 lakh.

Avlani and his partner Jayesh Shah were involved in a slum rehabilitation project at Antop Hill with the eight persons named in the complaint.

Subsequently, Shah had issued demand drafts of Rs 10 lakh to each of the eight members, including the Shuklas, who formed the SRA society. But the project didn't materialise and the Shuklas didn't return the money, a senior police officer here said.

Later, whenever the duo confronted the Shuklas demanding the money back, the Shuklas allegedly used Parkar's name to threaten them, sources said.

Ironically, in their anticipatory bail plea, the Shuklas alleged that in September 2006 Avlani and Shah had approached them for a SRA project. The duo were promised of Rs one crore to start the work and intially Rs 30 lakh were paid to them.
