India’s most-wanted terrorist, Dawood Ibrahim, can no longer escape Pakistan. Thanks to a Red Corner Notice issued by Interpol, global sanctions by the US, and a UN terror designation, the underworld don is trapped—yet Pakistan still pretends he doesn’t exist.
For the average Indian, this isn’t just about one criminal. It’s proof of Pakistan’s blatant hypocrisy: crying about “no terror safe havens” while sheltering the mastermind of the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
From Dubai to Karachi: A Terrorist’s Journey
Dawood fled India in 1986, setting up shop in Dubai. His “White House” bungalow became the planning hub for the 1993 Mumbai attacks, where he plotted with Tiger Memon. After India labeled him a terrorist, he played hide-and-seek between Dubai and Karachi—until 9/11 changed the game.
As the US cracked down on terror, Dawood panicked. By 2001, he vanished into Karachi’s upscale Clifton neighborhood, right next to Pakistan’s military-heavy Defence Colony. Coincidence? Hardly.
Pakistan’s VIP Treatment for a Global Threat
For years, Dawood lived like a king in Karachi—protected by Pakistan’s establishment. His family, including brothers Anees and Chhota Shakeel, enjoyed state-level security. But after India’s Operation Sindoor began targeting terror hubs, Pakistan quietly moved him. Where? Likely deeper into ISI’s custody.
The irony? Pakistan denies sheltering terrorists while smuggling fake currency, drugs, and weapons through Dawood’s D-Company. Even the US Treasury calls him a “global terrorist.” Yet, Islamabad’s script stays the same: “No idea where he is.”

Why Can’t Dawood Escape Now?
- Interpol’s Red Corner Notice: Any international travel risks arrest.
- US Sanctions: Banks, airports, and governments are required to flag him.
- UN Blacklist: Makes him a pariah—except in Pakistan.
Yet, Pakistan’s silence screams guilt. If Dawood isn’t their asset, why not hand him over?
India’s Next Move
With Operation Sindoor intensifying, India’s message is clear: No safe havens. Three attempts to eliminate Dawood failed—but pressure is building. If Pakistan won’t act, global forces might.
Bottom Line: Pakistan’s terror shield is cracking. Dawood’s days of luxury are numbered, and so are Islamabad’s lies.
