It's D-day but D-company still at large



New Delhi:He is India's most wanted. But for the last 13 years, Sheikh Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar – accused of masterminding the massacre of nearly 300 people in 12 serial bomb blasts in 1993 in Mumbai - is living a king-size life just across the border in Pakistan.

Ironically, while Mumbai will be expecting delayed justice finally on Thursday, this petty street criminal-turned-most-wanted-underworld don will still be off-the-hook.

The court will not be able to decide his fate along with his brother Anees and associates Tiger Memon and Mohammad Ahmed Umar Dossa. The four main accused were never produced in court because they were never arrested.

”All efforts, diplomatic and otherwise, are being made to get Dawood back to India. All efforts are being made to get not only him but also the al-Qaeda operatives as well,” Former director, CBI, Uma Shankar Mishra says.

Mishra retired as CBI director last year. He became a hero after he managed to extradite from Portugal Dawood's former accomplice and Mumbai blast accused Abu Salem. But Mishra says that even the Interpol red alerts have not helped in case of Dawood.

Indian intelligence agencies say that Pakistan's external intelligence agency, the Inter State Intelligence, uses Dawood to provide weapons and funds to various insurgents and militants operating in India.

”You can’t enter the territory of another country, neither Interpol nor nay other agency can do it if the other country is unwilling. If the country has the will, Dawood or anyone can be brought back,” Mishra says.

But in July 2005 when Dawood married off his eldest daughter Mahrukh Ibrahim to Junaid Miandad, the eldest son of former Pakistani cricket captain Javed Miandad, it was clear that even though the US State Department have dubbed him a 'global terrorist' for his alleged links with the al-Qaeda, India is not even close to getting him very soon.
