According to the CBI charge sheet, the deal was done in September 1999. The CBI also claims that Dhariwal had been dealing with Dawood since 1996. According to the CBI, in August 1999, Dawood’s henchmen Antulay and Salim Sheikh were beaten up Jagdish Joshi. Because Joshi did not seem to be ready to settle the deal with Dhariwal. It was not easy for Joshi to hit Dawood. He also had to do business, to live in Mumbai too. So he was ready on the deal.
