India writes to Pak on Dawood: Reports

NEW DELHI: The Indian High Commission in Pakistan has reportedly written to the Interpol in Islamabad seeking information on the whereabouts of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

According to Times Now , the latest development has come in the wake of stunning reports that one of India's most-wanted terrorists had been detained in Quetta by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, along with his aides Tiger Memon and Chhota Shakeel.

TV reports also stated that the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) are monitoring the numbers used by members of the Dawood gang.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) also wants the Pakistani government to verify reports of Dawood's alleged detention, reports added.

India is seeking the deportation of the dreaded gangster and some of his gang members on the ground that they are still Indian citizens.

Meanwhile, confusion still prevails over the whereabouts of the D-gang amid conflicting media reports. There were reports that the ISI had provided shelter to the man who has been eluding the Indian government for long, a contention vehemently denied by Islamabad.

The US has already asked Pakistan to hand over Dawood and his aides for their alleged links to Al-Qaida.

Dawood's brother Anees is already on the run. The first indications of the detention of Dawood and his cronies came when people working for them in Mumbai, Dubai and other places found their phones being answered by strange voices.
