Hefty reward has also been kept on other members of the gang of the most wanted don of the country. New photos of all these have also been released, but the latest photo of Dawood Ibrahim is still not with Indian agencies. This attempt to tighten the noose on Dawood's gang is being done for a special reason.
The Mumbai bomb blasts took place in the year 1993. After these blasts, Dawood Ibrahim was declared the most wanted criminal of the country. After nearly 29 years, now the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has announced a reward of Rs 25 lakh on Dawood Ibrahim for the first time.
On August 18, NIA Case No. Apart from Dawood in the prize list issued under RC- 01/2022/NIA/MUM, Rs 20 lakh on Shakeel Sheikh alias Chhota Shakeel, while other special operatives of D Company Haji Anees alias Anees Ibrahim Sheikh (Anees Ibrahim Shaikh). , Javed Patel alias Javed Chikna, Ibrahim Mushtaq Abdul Razzaq Memon alias Tiger Memon, each one has a reward of Rs 15 lakh each.
After 29 years, all of a sudden the investigative agencies became active against the D company. After all, what is the reason for the sudden resurgence of Indian agencies after so many years? Let us tell you.
First know all the allegations made in the bounty list
The NIA has accused D Company of forming a gang operating again in India. Also, through this gang, it has been accused of smuggling weapons, drugs and fake currency into India and helping Pakistani agencies and terrorist organizations in terrorist attacks in the country.
A new case was filed in February
According to NIA sources, Dawood is not directly handling this new gang, but Ibrahim has commanded it in his name. The agency had also registered a new case against him in February this year. According to the intel received by the NIA, apart from Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, terrorist organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) have also activated their sleeper cells to help this gang of Ibrahim. . This new gang of Dawood has been directed to target influential Indian industrialists and politicians.
A lot of evidence was found in the NIA raid in May
NIA teams raided around 29 places in May, in which a lot of evidence was found related to this new syndicate of Dawood. These raids were carried out at the houses of Mumbai's famous Haji Ali Dargah and Mahim Dargah's trustee Samir Hingorah, Chhota Shakeel's brother-in-law Salim Qureshi and many others. Sameer's association was also found in the Mumbai blasts, for which he was also punished.
From the evidence found in these raids, information was received that this new gang is raising huge money by increasing the business of ransom, betting, threats to builders and drugs in Mumbai, Thane and surrounding areas. This amount can be used to carry out a big event.
International reward already announced on Dawood
Dawood Ibrahim was declared a Global Terrorist (international terrorist) by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in the year 2003. A reward of $ 25 million was also kept for his arrest. This action was taken on the proposal presented by India and America, which was opposed by Pakistan. India had presented evidence against Dawood for his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bombings, besides his involvement in large-scale ransom, international smuggling and killings, before the UNSC.
India raised the matter again in UNSC last year
India had again raised the issue of D-company with the UN Security Council last year. India had said that the organized syndicate running in the name of D Company used to smuggle gold and counterfeit notes, but due to this money, in 1993, it turned into a terrorist organization overnight by carrying out the Mumbai bomb blasts. In this incident, more than 250 innocent people lost their lives and property worth millions of dollars was damaged.
India had clearly said in front of the UNSC that Dawood is enjoying life with the help of the neighboring country even after carrying out such a big terrorist incident. At the same time, it is defying efforts to reduce the threat of terrorist organizations at the global level.
Indian agencies failed to collect new photos of Dawood
While releasing the prize list on Thursday, NIA has also released photos of all the people of his gang including Dawood. Where the latest photo of Dawood's henchmen has been released by the agency. At the same time, the same 29-year-old picture of Dawood is still given, which was released by the police after the 1993 Mumbai blasts. This means that even after 29 years, Indian agencies are still unable to reach Dawood.
