//International News Desk//

is alive Dawood Ibrahim is healthy. His close associate Chhota Shakeel made this claim in an interview to a news media. He dismissed the speculation of trying to kill the gangster by consuming poison.

Dawood’s right-hand man Chhota Shakeel told a media outlet, “Dawood is alive and well.” I am shocked to see this fake news. I met him several times on Sunday.

It was published in the media on Monday that Dawood was seriously ill and admitted to a hospital in Karachi. There are several posts about this on social media. Many also shared a screenshot of a post by Pakistan’s caretaker prime minister, Anwar-ul-Haq. In that post, Dawood is dead. However, it later turned out that the account was fake. The viral message read, “Messiah of humanity, very close to every Pakistani’s heart, our beloved Dawood Ibrahim has passed away. An unknown person poisoned him. He breathed his last in a hospital in Karachi. Go to heaven, I wish.”

It was after this post that Dawood was poisoned. According to a source in the Pakistani media, his physical condition is critical. One source claims that Dawood was poisoned. However, no party has confirmed the matter. Dawood’s family also rejected that claim. Speculations are also made in Pakistani media. In this situation, a section of the Pakistani media claims that Dawood has been kept under tight security in a hospital in Karachi. No other patients are kept in the part of the hospital where he is. No one is allowed near the edge.

Earlier, various news about Dawood have been published in the media. His death was also reported. Later that claim was rejected by Dawood. In 2023, a media claimed that Dawood got married for the second time in Karachi. Alisha Ibrahim Parker, son of Dawood’s late sister Hasina Parker, said this during the interrogation of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in September 2022. He also informed that Dawood lives near Abdullah Ghazi Baba Darga in Karachi, Pakistan. Married a Pathan woman for the second time. However, he did not divorce his first wife Mojabin.

Allegedly, Dawood was the mastermind of the series of bomb blasts that took place in Mumbai on March 12, 1993. He conducted this attack from Pakistan. From America to the United Nations, Dawood is declared a world-class terrorist in everyone’s accounts. It is alleged that he was associated with Al Qaeda, Taliban. It is further alleged that Dawood runs a world-wide illicit drug trafficking ring. He ran that business using militant networks. This time Dawood is alleged to be admitted to the hospital.
