New Delhi, Recent Development: In a recent development, rumors about the alleged poisoning and hospitalization of notorious underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistan have been refuted by credible intelligence sources. These speculations, which surfaced on social media on December 17, gained momentum following a video from a Pakistani YouTuber. This individual, relying on unverified social media reports, speculated about Ibrahim’s poisoning and hospitalization.
The YouTuber also linked these rumors to an internet shutdown in Pakistan, suggesting a connection. However, this claim was dismissed by authoritative sources, who attributed the internet disruption to a virtual meeting of the opposition party, Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). During this period, Netblocks, an organization monitoring global internet freedom, observed significant restrictions on major social media platforms in Pakistan for about seven hours on Sunday evening, coinciding with an online PTI event. Netblocks remarked that this incident aligned with previous instances of internet censorship targeting opposition leader Imran Khan and PTI.
In a separate but related context, intercepted calls between Dawood Ibrahim and his associate Farooq offer insights into the gangster’s lifestyle. Despite being under international sanctions, Ibrahim has been living under the protection of Pakistan’s deep state for many years. In one call, Ibrahim is heard asking Farooq to buy Louis Vuitton shoes for him from Jeddah, specifying his shoe size and referencing previous shopping experiences in the city. Farooq also mentions plans to visit Mecca and return to Pakistan, bringing holy Zamzam water for Ibrahim.
Another conversation, involving Ibrahim’s first wife Maizabin and an unidentified associate, reveals plans for a trip with a significant budget for makeup and luxury items, including a Louis Vuitton bag and a shawl. These interactions highlight Ibrahim’s lavish lifestyle, despite being a fugitive evading law enforcement and international sanctions. Ibrahim, 67, is believed to be involved in various illegal activities, including narcotics smuggling, illegal arms trade, real estate, money laundering, and terrorism.
