Dawood Ibrahim is in Pakistan, claims his close aide Jabir Motiwala, exposes Pak's lie

India's most wanted Dawood Ibrahim is hiding in Pakistan. However, whenever India has raised the issue of Dawood's extradition to India, Islamabad has always denied that Dawood is hiding in Pakistan.

At a time when US is trying to extradite a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim, Jabir Motiwala — who handles 'D' company's international network, Zee news has accessed a photograph which will expose Pakistan's lie that Dawood is not in Pakistan.

According to a photo accessed by intelligence agencies, Dawood is seen with his close aide Jabir Motiwala, who is currently lodged in a UK jail over charges of money laundering.

In the photo, Dawood Ibrahim, who is reported to be sick, looks completely fine along with Jabir Motiwala. Several media reports in the past have claimed that Dawood was suffering from a serious disease.

According to intelligence reports, Jabir Motiwala stays in Dawood's neighborhood in Pakistan's Karachi and has close relations with his family.

Meanwhile, Indian agencies are trying to contact US agencies in relation to Jabir Motiwala. According to Indian agencies, there is an alleged network between Dawood's 'D' company and Pakistani agencies while Motiwala also has a key role to play. 

India has also accused Motiwala, who runs 'D' company's international network, of being involved with Pakistani-based terror organisations. 

According to FBI, Jabir Motiwala has a 10-year UK visa which will expire in 2028. In the meanwhile, Motiwala for the past few months has been trying to get citizenship of Antigua or Bermuda. For this, he has also paid 2 lakh US dollars to a Dubai company.

Motiwala was arrested by Scotland Yard police on August 17, 2018 in money laundering and running 'D' company's international operations. Following this, the United States had approached UK for his extradition.

However, according to Zee news, Pakistan High Commission came into the defence of Motiwala. In a letter submitted in UK Westminister's Court, Pak's High Commission said that Motiwala was a respected businessman and had nothing to do with 'D' company. 

Reports say Pakistan fears that Jabir Motiwala's arrest may expose Pakistan's lies on Dawood Ibrahim. India has a number of times given proof of Dawood's presence in Pakistan but Islamabad has always denied. 

According to FBI, Jabir Motiwala is accused of running drugs racket and is also involved in money laundering cases. In order to expose Motiwala, FBI had laid a trap and did a drug, and money laundering deal with him. 

Moreover, US government lawyer has claimed that Motiwala has visited Pakistan several times and also attended meetings on behalf of Dawood Ibrahim.

Dawood Ibrahim — wanted in India in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case — is hiding in Pakistan, the FBI claimed after secretly recording his close aide and Karachi-based businessman Jabir Motiwala.

Motiwala is awaiting extradition to the US, is suffering from depression and has made at least three suicide attempts in the past, making him unfit for deportation, his lawyers told a British court.
