In 2016, Indian intelligence agencies detected a call between another alleged aide of Dawood, Khalik Ahmed and Motiwala. It was said in this call that Khalik had embezzled Dawood’s 40 crore rupees. Motiwala’s lawyers had said in the London High Court during extradition that his client is a Karachi based businessman and his father had set up the 1951 Karachi Stock Exchange.
