Visa to Miandad doesn't change Dawood's status: India

January 04, 2013 19:41

The government today made it clear that the issuance of visa to former Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad, a relative of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, did not reflect any change in the status of the Mumbai serial bomb blasts case mastermind as far as India is concerned.

Miandad's son Junaid is married to Mahrukh, the daughter of Dawood, who is wanted in India in connection with the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case.

"There has not been any change as far as Dawood Ibrahim is concerned. His position remains exactly the same," a top government source said.
