I met Dawood Ibrahim in Karachi, says Pak journalist Arif Jamal

New Delhi, Aug 26: In an interview with India Today, reputed Pakistani author and journalist Arif Jamal said that he met 1993 Mumbai serial blasts mastermind and most wanted underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Karachi.

He also claimed that Dawood's brother Anees Ibrahim was his neighbour. According to him Dawood maintains a low profile and meets very few people.

Arif Jamal revealed these details in an interview with India Today.

A dossier prepared by India has also claimed that Dawood Ibrahim is holed up in Pakistan. However, Pakistan has always denied Dawood's presence in the country.

India listed nine residences of the underworld don in that country and stated that he is known to frequently change his locations and addresses there.

The information about the residences in Pakistan, including one bought near the house of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, son of late former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, in Karachi two years ago is contained in the dossier that was prepared to be handed over to Pakistan's NSA Sartaj Aziz in the event of his talks with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval which was later called off by Pakistan.

According to the dossier, Dawood has three Pakistani passports -- first one issued in Rawalpindi (No.G-866537), second in Karachi (No. C-267185) and a third one which was also issued in Karachi (No. KC-285901). Dawood's wife Mahajabeen holds a Pakistani passport No. J-589103, son Moeen's Pakistani passport No. J-588518 and daughter Mehrukh's passport No. J-563473.
