Qureshi gives officials the slip, flies to Dubai

Qureshi was detained based on a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case against him. 

As the immigration department informed the ED about his detention, Qureshi presented a court order in which there was no restriction on his flying abroad. As the ED team reached the airport to take the meat exporter into custody, they were informed that he had been allowed to fly on the basis of a court order. However, the immigration officer realised that the order was in connection with an Income Tax case and not in the ED case, prompting the authorities to order an inquiry.
