| Dawood Ibrahim. — Image of Dawood Ibrahim released by Interpol as part of the Interpol-United Nations Security Council Special Notice |
In a reply submitted to the Indian Parliament on Tuesday, the Home Ministry said the government had no clue about the whereabouts of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, Indian media reported.
Indian Minister of State (Home) Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary stated that the former Mumbai underworld don is not on Indian intelligence's radar, and it would only be possible to bring him back to the country once his whereabouts were discovered.
Today's statement is in direct contrast to Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh's stand, who had alleged in November 2014 that Pakistan was providing shelter to Ibrahim. The minister had claimed that despite many requests, Pakistan had not handed him over to India.
“When the Pakistan premier came to India, our prime minister told him to hand over Dawood. We are pursuing it. We are trying to build diplomatic pressure... As he is the most wanted criminal... Right now he is along the Pak-Afghan border,” the Press Trust of India had quoted Singh as saying.
Take a look: Dawood living near Pak-Afghan border, says Indian minister
Former Intelligence Bureau (IB) Special Director Rajendra Kumar also contradicted the Indian government's claim today, adding that there was no chance Ibrahim would leave Pakistan, a report published on IBNLive quoted him as saying.
Prior to winning the elections in India, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said he would bring Dawood Ibrahim to India to be tried for the 1993 blasts in Mumbai if he came into power.
Examine: Modi says if he becomes PM he will hunt Dawood
Pakistan routinely denies Indian charges that it shelters Dawood Ibrahim — one of India's most wanted men — ever since the don became a fugitive for his alleged role in the serial bomb blasts that hit Mumbai in 1993 in apparent retaliation for the demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992. Over 250 people were killed in the attacks.
Dawood stands convicted in absentia in India for the blasts, together with several Mumbai accomplices.

the minister should ask arnab goswami
whats the big deal we all know Indian don't know and can never know his whereabouts as this will disclose a chain of high officials in current and previous govts as to who were his abettors. he is still there in India and everyone knows it.
Please watch Indians movies, in mostly movies they show that Muslims are criminals. This is a non stop campaign of HINDUSI regime.
The Indian parliament has nothing else to do, wasting time, by debating, where is Dawood Ibrahim.
Off course it is a lot easier to blame it on Pakistan keeping in view that we are already war stricken.
Oh no, where is he DOA.
Politics is combination of tactics, cleaverness and cheatness. Dawood is not more important for india and used by tools for india..
I wonder when the paranoia from Pakistan go from Americans and Indians... There pre-election foreign policy debates revolve around Pakistan...
If you think he is in Pak, come and get him, the reality is, he is not in Pak, probably in India or Dubai.
These news sell. We in India Pakistan are all Bollyfied. Even the real life is a movie for us. Bad guy and good guy and the ending is always a happy one. And as if all this will happen in one life time. People of our nations have to come out of that mentality and force the powers to stop fooling us. Hope that our future generations see a peaceful India and Pakistan, even if it is not perfect.
@KHALID SOHAIL Muslims are real heroes in India in every field, Abdul Kalam to AR Rahaman. Sania Mirza to Amir Khan. They die for India serving in Indian defence forces. They are the real patriates, My first hindu prayers were taught by a muslim teacher. Dawood or some useless movies cannot take away the respect muslims deserve. btw Bolywwod is dominated by Khans, know the facts before commenting. I have many Pakistani friends, they are honest and good people too.
I wonder why Pakistan was not conveniently blamed?
Hi, The article is certainly an inspiration for many including
me as it highlights the sure cut ways of gaining an
effective customer base. You talked about the readers being
the promoters and we can surely get the requisite exposure
through them as well. Kudos to you since you rightly deserve
the success, and I can't thank you more for sharing such
wonderful information. Wish you all the very best for the
next target of yours. Hope you are going to achieve the same
with flying colors as well. Thanks again. Top-Level domains (TLD)
India needs to grow up and stop chasing its own shadow. And while doing so stop being an American stooge in the region.
The sooner the Indians forgot Dawood Ibrahim the better for their continued health. BTW he is enjoying life on Mumbai.
Running the government in India and Pakistan is like working for mafias. where Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.
@kiranreddys.com yes but the original poster didn't say anything wrong. Bollywood movies do wrongly portray Muslims as terrorists in almost each n every movie now. Please don't deny this.
@proud-winner...they can't show Muslims in a bad light because of our large Muslim population. That said, they probably show Pakistan in a bad light in a few films, like you did with waar. But its quite simple. Don't watch our movies. No Indian saw, or felt inclined to watch waar.
@KHALID SOHAIL I know my comment will not be published...but it is not only India, the whole world believes this as this the the nude truth.
@y I totally agree with you, sir! If Pakistanis feel embarrassed to watch anti Pakistan movies, then they should quit watching them instead of whining and complaining. Just like you didn't watch Waar. Dont like it? Dont watch it! That's the wise approach.
@KHALID SOHAIL
Are you requesting us to watch movies or stopping??
@KHALID SOHAIL simple solution, stop watching!!
Last seen at a new year party in Karachi at the golf club. No Pakistan is not giving him protection. He just casually strolled in.
we will get him one day.....and that day is not far.
@KHALID SOHAIL ,Do you have any work besides watching Bollywood movies all the time ?
@ailly "he is still there in India and everyone knows it" I hope you are not foolish if you are thinking this way. He is going to run but can not hide anymore. If I were PM of India I would have sent agents to Kill or capture him
@KHALID SOHAIL Is it not the ground reality world wide?
Oh look, india admits it's intelligence is inadequate. They blame pakistan without even having evidence. It makes me wonder how strong the evidence against Lakhvi was, because indian politicians apparently make wild claims against pakistan without intelligence.
Strange !!!!!
@Blue Saffron : Nice to always hear sermons from the "former stooge" of USA and "current stooge" of China about why India should not be a "stooge" .
