What is your information on the reported attack on Dawood and his brother Anees at Karachi?
The information is not true. I verified the facts and my sources told me, 'Anees daaru pee ke so raha hai'. He is probably not aware that someone has spread rumours about him.
Mark My Words: Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria.
Who do you think has spread the rumours?
Probably, one of your colleagues. His sympathisers will not dare to do anything like that.
Does Dawood and members of his clan have enemies in Pakistan?
The Baluchis and Pathans are opposed to Dawood and his associates. This is mainly because of Dawood's proximity to Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
Is there a possibility of ISI eliminating Dawood?
I will not comment.
The possibility of Chhota Rajan targeting Anees?
Rajan and Anees are good friends. The relationship dates back to when Rajan was a key member of the Dawood gang.
How much influence do members of the Dawood gang still have in Mumbai?
They have their men in places like Dongri and Bhendi u00a0Bazaar. But their influence has been diminishing in recent years.
Who do you think will take over the reigns of the gang in case Dawood and his brother are actually targeted?
Their younger brother Mustaqeen has been groomed to take charge. This is known to all the other members of the gang.
'I'd distribute mithai'
Is it true that Dawood Ibrahim and his brother Anees were shot at in Karachi?
I would distribute sweets if the news was true.
Have you confirmed that news about Dawood and Anees?
We made inquiries with a central intelligence agency. They said they are not aware of any such incident involving the gangsters.
How do you confirm such news?
One of the central intelligence agencies informs Intelligence Bureau. The news is then passed on to all police headquarters across the country.
