Dawood will be arrested soon: Home Minister

New Delhi: Central Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that Underworld Don and India’s most wanted criminal, Dawood Ibrahim will be arrested soon and brought to India. Speaking at an interview to a news channel, the Minister said that, Dawood is an international criminal and help will be sought from international agencies to catch him. All the relevant documents against Dawood have been given to Pakistan.

Dawood Ibrahim has been accused of having been the mastermind behind 13 serial blasts in Mumbai in 1993. The blasts killed over 250 people and injured over 700. Singh also said India faced no threat from the Islamic State only days after the world’s most dangerous militant organisation warned in a video that it would avenge atrocities against Muslims in India.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had said it would continue to ask Pakistan to hand Ibrahim over after a television channel claimed that it has tracked his location.
