‘Dawood has bases in Pak, keeps changing location’

Inputs from different agencies suggest that Dawood Ibrahim, prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, has bases in Pakistan and keeps changing his location from time to time, MoS Home Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

He said India has from time to time been apprising Pakistani authorities of details concerning Dawood, including passports and his reported addresses in the neighbouring country, with the request that he be handed over for facing trial in India for terrorist activities and other offences. “The government will keep pursuing this matter through different channels to ensure that Pakistan and its agencies fulfil their international obligations in the context of the Red Corner Notice issued against Dawood Ibrahim and the relevant UN Security Council resolution,” he said.

Besides, Chaudhary said that investigation agencies had failed to arrest the perpetrators or identify groups behind three out of four terror attacks in the country in 2014 and 2015.
