NEW DELHI: Zoya Khan, wife of notorious gangster Hashim Baba, has been arrested with 270 grams of heroin worth about Rs one crore in the international market. Zoya Khan, known as 'Lady Don' of Delhi, was arrested from North East Delhi based on a tip-off.

33-year-old Zoya had long been on the radar of police. Despite many suspicions, the police have not been able to arrest her due to lack of evidence.

Hashim Baba has dozens of cases against him ranging from murder, extortion and arms smuggling. Zoya Khan is his third wife. Before marring Hashim Baba in 2017, she was married to someone else. After divorcing him, she became close to her neighbor Hashim.

After Baba was jailed, Zoya took over the activities of the gang. Zoya's post in this gang was similar to that of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's sister Haseena Parkar. She was involved in all kinds of activities including robbery, murder and distribution of drugs.

Zoya was not like the typical gang leader, she maintained a certain image. She attended high profile parties, wore expensive clothes and indulged in luxury brands.

Zoya frequently visited her husband in Tihar Jail. Police said Baba trained her in coded language, giving tips and advice on how to manage their finances and operations.
