Relic Reporter, New Delhi.
A fresh set of Dawood Ibrahim’s intercepted conversations indicate that India’s ‘most wanted’ is running his real estate empire from Pakistan. He is heard speaking about property deals and various projects to his associates.
The conversations reveal that the underworld don is investing and striking deals worth millions from the ill-gotten wealth that he has acquired.
“Just to let you know… my 11 million were lying with him and then they were selling it to the investor and giving me the money, and secondly Yasir also has my money about 8 lakhs. I told him let it remain with you…” Dawood is heard saying. He is also heard demanding 25 million from someone.
The underworld don is heard welding his full authority while speaking to his men about these big deals. “I’m the judge of my own case. I do no injustice to anyone or not will I allow it to happen to myself.”
He is heard discussing about his network. “From the entire world I receive information, and if that information itself is wrong then I’ll be misguided. The prime minister does not go to every street. People come and tell him what is happening and then he takes a decision.”
In the earlier set of tapes, Dawood claims he has interest in the biggest real estate ventures in Dubai, like the Dubai Investment Park and Tecom investments, to a five lakh-square-feet plot on Sheikh Zayed Road. The road houses the Burj Khalifa and La Dolce Vita in Dubai Marina.
Dawood has been on the run since 1993 after he was wanted in the bomb blast case in Mumbai the same year. Indian intelligence agencies have repeatedly said that he is in Pakistan, living in Karachi. But, Pakistani authorities have been denying that.
These sensational tapes indicate that he is fearless and ruthless, and is on a real estate buying spree in the tony areas of Dubai, the profits of which is ploughed into the D Company that runs and finances global terror operations.
