Dawood Ibrahim’s brother rubbishes Covid-19 rumours

Even as intelligence agencies report that India's most wanted fugitive Dawood Ibrahim and his wife have tested positive for Covid-19 and are admitted to Army Hospital, Karachi, Dawood's brother Anees Ibrahim, who controls D-company's underworld operations and finance, denies such reports.

Speaking from an undisclosed location over the phone, Anees said that his brother Dawood and the entire family was not affected by the dreaded virus and are at their home. In a rare conversation, the mafia don also admitted to running a business in the UAE and Pakistan.

Intelligence reports had earlier said that Dawood and his wife have tested positive for novel coronavirus. The reports also revealed that his personal staff and guards have been quarantined.

Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, patronized by Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), is believed to be residing in Karachi and is accused in several cases of cross border crimes including the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. For years, Islamabad has repeatedly denied Dawood and his family's presence in Pakistan.
