DAWOOD ON THE RUN: KARACHI NO LONGER SAFE HAVEN
New Delhi - As India’s Operation Sindoor intensifies its anti-terror drive, Pakistan has reportedly relocated its most-wanted terror mastermind, Dawood Ibrahim. Unconfirmed sources suggest the ISI shifted Dawood and his inner circle from Karachi’s Clifton area to an undisclosed location, fearing Indian strikes.
OPERATION SINDOOR: PRESSURE MOUNTS ON PAK TERROR NETWORKS
Operation Sindoor, India’s robust military campaign against cross-border terror, has reignited focus on Dawood’s whereabouts. Intelligence indicates that while Dawood had made Karachi his permanent base since 2001, mounting pressure from Indian forces targeting terror hideouts made his continued stay there risky.
DAWOOD’S KARACHI SAFEHOUSE: A HISTORY OF ESCAPE
Since fleeing India in 1986, Dawood operated from Dubai’s ‘White House’ bungalow before shifting his empire to Pakistan. The notorious Mumbai blasts of 1993 were orchestrated from Dubai, after which Dawood became India’s top terror fugitive, oscillating between Karachi and Dubai until 2001.
9/11 CHANGED EVERYTHING: DAWOOD’S PERMANENT MOVE TO PAKISTAN
Post the 9/11 attacks, as global anti-terror sentiment surged, Dawood cemented his base in Karachi’s elite Clifton enclave. Living with wife Mehjabeen, sons Moien and Noor (now deceased), and trusted lieutenants like Chhota Shakeel, Dawood’s setup was heavily guarded by ISI operatives.
ISI’S SECRETIVE SHIFT: AHEAD OF OPERATION SINDOOR LAUNCH
Sources claim that even before Operation Sindoor officially launched, Dawood and his key aides, including shooter Munna Jhingada—infamous for the 2000 Bangkok attack on Chhota Rajan—were moved from Karachi to avert any Indian offensive. Their current whereabouts remain a closely guarded secret.
DAWOOD: PAKISTAN’S ‘PRIZED ASSET’ STILL AT LARGE
Dawood has long been a strategic asset for Pakistan’s ISI, allegedly facilitating terror plots, counterfeit currency, and arms smuggling. Despite repeated Indian operations and three known assassination attempts, Dawood has evaded capture, thanks to Islamabad’s tight security web.
NO EXIT: DAWOOD TRAPPED BY GLOBAL WATCHDOGS
Even as Pakistan shifts Dawood internally, the underworld don’s global movement is severely restricted. India secured an Interpol Red Corner Notice against him, while the US designated him a global terrorist. The UN continues to monitor his activities, making any international escape almost impossible.
