NO idea where Dawood is, admits government
May 05, 2015 14:36
The central government admitted today that it was unaware of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's whereabouts. The Home Ministry confirmed in Parliament today that the don is not on the Indian intelligence radar and the extradition process is only possible after Dawood is located. The Indian government has always maintained that Dawood was in Karachi under ISI protection.
Ever since Narendra Modi became the prime minister, reports have been emerging that the BJP government at the Centre is trying its level best to locate Dawood and bring him to justice.
Dawood is the mastermind of the 1993 Mumbai blasts. On March 12, 1993, serial bomb blasts rocked the western metropolis at various places, killing more than 250 and injuring over 700.
Former Delhi police commissioner Neeraj Kumar on Saturday denied reports that quoted him saying that Dawood Ibrahim wanted to surrender, and that the then government scuttled the plans at the last moment.
Neeraj Kumar in an interview to a national daily last week, was quoted as saying Dawood, labelled by the US as 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist', had got in touch with him and wanted to surrender, but the plan was shelved by the government.
