Around 9.32pm the same day, a person from Pakistan used the number to speak to a Dubai number for 108 seconds and Delhi Police found the conversation to be fishy as the word IPL was used repeatedly.
Delhi Police, with the help of intelligence agencies and Research and Analysis Wing, managed to confirm that it was indeed Dawood talking to an aide.
Officials claim this is the first time Indian agencies were able to capture Dawood's number and voice from an intercepted telephone call.
Delhi Police started tracking other bookies including Ashwini Aggarwal alias Tinku Mandi and soon Ramesh Vyas's phone and a larger racked was unearthed.
