The UN has designated Dawood Ibrahim as an international terrorist
by Rakesh K Singh
NEW DELHI: The Don Who Knows Too Much is caught in a web spun by the security agencies of India and Pakistan. Deep throat sources said a home-sick, financially depleted and enfeebled Dawood Ibrahim
is desperately seeking to return to India by December, but it’s easier wished than done. Afraid of an untimely death, Dawood wants his body to be at least buried at home. His return will expose Pakistani politicians and the Army, whose ill-gotten gains he has been laundering for decades. At the behest of the Indian government, the UAE has forced benami owners of Dawood’s properties worth Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore to be liquidated in the last seven months in a crackdown that began in 2015. This has made Pakistan’s shadow players unhappy. Some of these investments are Mihaj Investments Corporation, Formosa Trading FZE, Sojitz International FZE, ETA Star Al
Manara Tower and Midwest Hotel among others.
A story by The Sunday Standard on November 8, 2015, exposed Dawood’s fears of being eliminated by the Pak Army and the ISI, after the UN designated the criminal mastermind an international terrorist and pressure mounted on Pakistan to arrest him. Sources said Dawood’s health is failing, and if untreated, he is heading for certain multiple-organ failure. Pakistan may find a dead Dawood more convenient than a live one, who can expose its terror connections, hawala deals and other crimes. When questioned how such a high profile terrorist can leave his hiding place and surface in India, sources said Dawood still has powerful friends in Pakistan, for which, plausible deniability has never been an issue.
Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan, a country participating actively with the US in the War on Terror. Indian agencies have been keeping a watch of the don’s travel using false passports. The Doval doctrine has energized Indian intelligence, whose hands had been tied for over a decade over Pakistan. Abu Salem and Chhota Rajan are among dons who have been repatriated to India and are facing prosecution. Dawood is wanted in dozens of cases relating to extortion, terrorism, conspiracy and mass murder.
