D-Company (the Mumbai underworld organised criminal syndicate managed by Dawood Ibrahim) was recently discovered in Punjab, implying that Pakistan’s ISI has begun to use the underworld to sow terror in Punjab.
Security agencies apprehended Abu Bakar, a suspect in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts and a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim, earlier this month. After a 29-year manhunt, he was apprehended in the United Arab Emirates..
Dawood Ibrahim is the son of a Mumbai cop who worked as a policeman. He began his criminal career in Mumbai’s Dongri neighbourhood, where he was involved in gang wars. He met up with Haji Mastan gang members in Dongri, and his gang battle began. He was originally arrested for a robbery case in the 1980s, and his criminal record grew over time. Due to clashes between the Haji and Pathan gangs, which are largely made up of Afghan refugees, Dawood grew more powerful and violent.
