An offer Dawood Ibrahim just could not refuse
New Delhi, Dec 23: Did Dawood Ibrahim ever want to surrender? There have been claims made to that effect by former officers, but in reality the Karachi based don was only testing the waters.
The conditions that he imposed for his surrender were impossible to adhere with and hence the entire episode was nothing but a drama.
What is more pertinent to note here is that Dawood Ibrahim had no choice, but to listen to the ISI. He was being hunted by the Indian agencies and was in desperate need for protection. The ISI was well aware of his situation and made him an offer he could not resist.
"We will protect you only if you give us 40 per cent of your income and if you disagree, we will block your drug trade route," is what the ISI told Dawood.
An
offer
he
could
not
say
no
to:
The
claims
by
officials
that
Dawood
wanted
to
surrender
makes
for
nice
reading.
However
in
reality,
the
don
never
wanted
to
surrender.
Even
if
he
was
thinking
of
a
surrender,
he
would
have
to
do
it
at
the
cost
of
his
billion
dollar
drug
empire.
Dawood's
area
of
operation
was
very
much
dependant
on
the
Afghanistan-Pakistan
route
which
is
one
of
the
leading
drug
corridors
of
the
world.
This territory is controlled by the ISI and the Taliban and unless any person has the support of these two, doing business here is impossible. Dawood had a lot to worry about after the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. He had been upgraded from criminal to terrorist and India was baying for his blood.
During this period he did make a couple of calls to advocates known to him. He is also said to have spoken to officers in the Central Bureau of Investigation. He was never keen on surrendering and was only testing the waters.
The
conditions
that
he
imposed
were
not
possible
to
fulfil
officers
have
claimed.
However
what
was
more
important
for
Dawood
was
his
protection
and
also
his
drug
empire.
The
ISI
sensed
his
desperation
and
weakness
and
threw
an
offer
at
him.
Had
he
refused
that
offer
it
would
have
meant
curtains
for
his
drug
business.
Moreover he was not sure about how he would be treated in India and hence had no choice but to bite the ISI's bait.
