Wanted terrorist and underground don Dawood Ibrahim has been hospitalized in Karachi, Pakistan under high security, sources revealed.
The 1993 Mumbai serial blasts mastermind was admitted to an undisclosed hospital two days ago and is being kept on a floor with no other patients, with only top hospital staff and close family having access.
There has been speculation about Ibrahim’s health after unconfirmed social media reports claimed he was hospitalized following an alleged poisoning. Authorities have released no official statement on his condition.
Ibrahim has long been suspected of hiding out in Pakistan, although Pakistan has denied harboring him. Earlier this year, his nephew told India’s National Investigation Agency that Ibrahim resides in Karachi’s defense area near Rahim Faki, behind the Abdullah Ghazi Baba Dargah.
India has sought his extradition for his role as a ringleader in the 1993 Mumbai bombings that killed 257 people. He remains at the top of India’s most wanted list even three decades after the attacks.
The recent hospitalization under armed supervision indicates authorities take his security and medical care extremely seriously even as the fugitive mobster’s health remains shrouded in mystery for the public.
