With Dawood almost dead, who will succeed his 6.7 billion dollar empire

Moreover, by confirming the news, there could be a succession battle within the D-syndicate.

D-It is almost certain that Dawood Ibrahim who is undergoing treatment at the Aga Khan hospital in Karachi will not make it. His trusted aide, Chhota Shakeel put up a brave front and refuted rumours regarding his ill-health. Intelligence Bureau officials say that Shakeel would try and keep the issue under wraps because in such times a succession issue would crop up.

Dawood's empire is worth 6.7 billion dollars. His empire is so vast that he made it to the Forbes Magazine in 2015. Forbes described him as one of the richest gangsters of all time. Officials say that his businesses include, diamond, drug and arms trade. He also runs the fake currency racket apart from controlling the cricket betting racket.
