Description

Dawood Ibrahim, the notorious figure behind the 1993 Mumbai blasts, is once again in the spotlight amid claims of being poisoned. Designated a global terrorist in 2003 by both India and the United States, Ibrahim carries a staggering $25 million bounty on his head due to his alleged orchestration of the 1993 Bombay bombings and involvement in various crimes such as extortion, murder, and smuggling.Although rumours abound regarding his alleged poisoning and subsequent hospitalisation, reliable intelligence sources have discredited these claims.But why does news about Dawood remain palatable to India? And how much of a threat is he actually to India?It's been over four decades since he went into hiding, morphing into a shadowy figure. Does his ability to evade authorities raise questions about the failure of India's security apparatus and the potential mesh of corruption behind his rise?And what are the practical difficulties in actually ‘poisoning’ Dawood?India Today TV Output’s Senior Executive Editor Shiv Aroor and host Dev Goswami discuss.Listen in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Sachin Dwivedi
