Anil Jaisinghani had used the same tactics of implicating Madhya Pradesh state excise officials in "fake'" cases to blackmail and pressurise the cops probing the inter- state traffcking of alcohol and evasion of excise duties. The bookie and hawala operator was notorious for filing fake cases against police, ED and other government officers investigating his criminal activities.

“Anil Jaisinghani had his hand in every criminal enterprise but surprisingly managed to evade arrest in over 17 criminal cases in five states. He fixed cricket matches and ran popular cricket betting sites, managed hawala funds, smuggled alcohol, filed fake cases of rapes and kidnapping against police, threatened and evicted properties to take forcibe possesion. The list is endless,” said an amused Mumbai Police officers at the growing request of several states police and central agencies seeking custody of Jaisinghani for questioning.
