Unconfirmed reports indicate that Dawood Ibrahim, 65, was poisoned by one of his own men.

Dawood Ibrahim is not just linked to the 1993 Mumbai blasts that killed over 250 people; he is also deeply involved in various criminal enterprises including drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and arms smuggling. His connections with the ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba further intensify his notoriety.

India’s Longstanding Extradition Battle

For decades, India has been demanding Ibrahim’s extradition, offering a substantial $25 million bounty. Despite providing evidence of his criminal activities in Pakistan, the latter has consistently denied sheltering him. This incident might intensify India’s call for international intervention.
