Mumbai, May 22: It's a story which sounds unbelievable, but appears to be true. It could be lifted straight out of a James Hadley Chase thriller, but the fact remains that one of the bookies arrested by Mumbai police crime branch has blurted out this tale, which could be far-fetched or true, depends on how you take it.

Sitting hundreds of kilometres away in Dubai, Dawood Ibrahim's brother Anees saw this happen on TV and immediately made up his mind.
