Karachi: Fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim has reportedly been hospitalised in Pakistan’s Karachi due to serious health complications. Several reports on social media suggest that Dawood was poisoned, however, there has been no official confirmation yet.
Reports doing rounds online also state that the 1993 Mumbai blasts mastermind has been kept under strict security vigil in the hospital. Only top hospital authorities and his close family members have access to the floor where he is kept, sources said, India Today reported.
He has been hospitalised since two days. However, the Financial Express could not independently verify the reports.
Dawood Ibrahim, the mastermind behind the 1993 blasts in Mumbai that killed more than 250 people and India’s most wanted terrorist, has reportedly been hiding in Pakistan for decades. Earlier in January, the son of Haseena Parker, Dawood Ibrahim’s sister, told the National Investigating Agency (NIA) that the underworld don stays in Karachi after getting married for the second time.
Additionally, the NIA, in its chargesheet, against Dawood Ibrahim had stated that he and his top aides control Pakistan’s Karachi airport.
