Mumbai attacks masterminds enjoyed 5-star hospitality in Pakistan: India at UN

India at the UN said on Tuesday that the crime syndicate responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts was not just given state protection but it also enjoyed a five-star hospitality.

Indian representative's remarks were a veiled reference to D-Company and its head Dawood Ibrahim, believed to be hiding in Pakistan.

In August 2020, Pakistan had for the first time acknowledged the presence of Dawood Ibrahim on its soil. Islamabad had then imposed sweeping sanctions on 88 banned terror groups and their leaders which also included the name of the underworld don wanted by India.

India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti told the International Counter Terrorism Conference 2022 organised by the Global Counter Terrorism Council that linkages between terrorism and transnational organised crime must be fully recognised and addressed vigorously.
