Mumbai: Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's sister Hasina Parkar appeared before a sessions court in Mumbai on Tuesday evening in connection with a cheating and intimidation case.
Clad in a burqa the sister of underworld don - evading arrest for two weeks - made a dramatic entry minutes before the court adjourned for the day.
However, a decision on her anticipatory bail application has been adjourned till Wednesday.
Hasina is to present herself before the court on Thursday at 1100 hrs (IST) and will be kept under surveillance by Mumbai police till then.
When Public Prosecutor Rohini Salian asked if any of the five burqa-clad women present in the court was Haseena, she raised the veil covering her face briefly and her lawyer identified her to the court.
Haseena stood close to her lawyers while her relatives stood behind her in the courtroom that was packed with media persons, family members, lady constables and police officers.
Earlier, the court had given Mumbai police deadline till May 16 to arrest Parkar in a case of cheating and criminal intimidation registered against her.
But Mumbai Police failed to produce her in court. The court direction came after Parkar remained untraceable despite a non-bailable warrant issued against her.
The Anti-Extortion Cell of the police, investigating the complaint filed by a real estate agent Vinod Avalani, had obtained Non Bailable Warrants against Parkar and four others.
