Dawood Ibrahim hospitalised: According to sources, the name of the hospital where India's most wanted Dawood Ibrahim was admitted has surfaced. Sources told India TV that after a deterioration in Dawood's health, he was admitted to the 'Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH)' in Karachi last week. The sources also revealed that various tests are being conducted on Dawood, and these tests take time. For this purpose, he is reportedly being taken to 'PNS Shifa' Hospital. The Pakistani government, seemingly concerned about secrecy, admitted Dawood to a renowned and expert hospital under an alias, ensuring that he was registered without revealing his identity.
Pakistan consistently denies Dawood's presence in the country, and this move raises questions about maintaining his anonymity in any hospital records. The hospital in question, PNS Shifa, is a 600-bed facility established in 1953.
Dawood Ibrahim allegedly poisoned
Earlier, it was reported that Dawood has purportedly been admitted to a hospital in Karachi, where stringent security measures are reportedly in place, according to undisclosed sources. Geo TV News in Pakistan has reported the swirling rumours regarding Dawood Ibrahim's health after his reported hospitalisation, with ongoing discussions on social media. While the reports indicate that poisoning is the cause behind his admission, there is no concrete evidence or official confirmation.
Dawood Ibrahim, infamous as the mastermind behind the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, has been a fugitive residing in Pakistan for several years. The devastating bombings resulted in over 250 casualties and left thousands injured. Authorities are closely monitoring his health condition amidst heightened concerns and swirling rumours.
Facing numerous charges in India, including terrorism, organized crime, and drug trafficking, Dawood Ibrahim was designated as a global terrorist in 2003. Born in December 1955 in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district, his family later moved to Mumbai's Dongri area. Rising to prominence within Mumbai's underworld in the 1970s, initially associated with the Haji Mastan gang, he gained influence, leading to the identification of his gang as the notorious "D-Company."
It is essential to note that, despite ongoing speculation about Dawood Ibrahim's health, these claims lack official verification. The underworld figure's association with criminal activities and his fugitive status have kept him in the headlines for decades, adding a layer of complexity to the current situation.
