CBI gives proof of Dawood's network in Pakistan Friday, July 7 2006 16:38 Hrs (IST) - World Time -
New Delhi:
The CBI today (July 7, 2006) said it has supplied all addresses of global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistan to Interpol.
"We have given complete proof about his entire network in Pakistan to Interpol and Interpol believes us," CBI Director Vijay Shanker told sources after his 30-minute meeting with Home Minister Shivraj Patil.
The comments from the CBI Director comes close on the heels of Pakistan approaching the France-based world police body and claiming that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim was not hiding in its territory.
Pakistan had also asked Interpol to strike out Karachi ashis address in a Interpol-United Nations notice issued for Dawood, who has been designated as global terrorist by the US
State Department.
The Interpol headquarters in France sought a reply from the CBI, which informed that the presence of Ibrahim in Pakistan had been confirmed and this fact had also been
acknowledged by the US Department of State that has named the don a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' (SDGT).
This is the first time that Islamabad has objected to any international body for stating that Ibrahim, wanted by the CBI in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, lives in
Pakistan though it has been constantly maintaining this stand in bilateral talks with New Delhi.
About filing of second chargesheet in the navy war room leak case, Shanker said, "We will go as per the law" and refused to elaborate further.
