India Rejects UN Rapporteur's Description of Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company as India-Based
India has strongly rejected a UN special rapporteur's report describing Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company as an "India-based" criminal group, calling it factually inaccurate. Indian diplomat Raghoo Puri highlighted that Dawood Ibrahim has been a wanted criminal in India since 1993 and is based in Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was found. India criticized the report for omitting these facts, warning that such errors harm the UN's credibility and legitimacy. The rebuttal was delivered during the UN General Assembly's Third Committee session.
