India Rejects UN Report Labeling Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company as India-Based

India Rejects UN Report Labeling Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company as India-BasedPreviousNext

India has strongly rejected a United Nations special rapporteur's report describing Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company as an "India-based" criminal group, citing factual inaccuracies. Indian diplomat Raghoo Puri emphasized that Dawood Ibrahim has been wanted in India since 1993 for terror attacks and resides in Pakistan, as per UN listings. India criticized the report for omitting these facts and warned that such errors undermine the UN's credibility. The rebuttal was delivered during the UN General Assembly's Third Committee session, highlighting concerns over accountability and impartiality in UN reports.
