Dawood Ibrahim, India’s Most Wanted terrorist, reportedly is keen on coming back. This piece of information was shared by noted criminal lawyer Shyam Kesvani outside a Thane court, an IANS report said on Tuesday. 

Kesvani, who is representing Dawood’s brother Iqbal Ibrahim Kaskar in an extortion case was speaking to media persons when he made the statement.

‘He had also conveyed his intentions through (former union minister and eminent lawyer) Ram Jethmalani a few years ago but the Indian government has not entertained any of his preconditions to return,’ Kesvani was quoted as saying by the IANS.

In a sharp reaction to the statement, public prosecutor Ujjawal Nikam said, ‘It's Dawood Ibrahim's old style. Beggars have no choice. Who informed his lawyer that he wants to surrender? If he's in contact with him our agencies must find about it. It's nonsense.’

The statement comes after reports that Dawood has handed over the reins of the D-company to his brother Iqbal Kaskar.

According to the police, Dawood conveyed this to him in Thane central jail via a message that was sent to Kaskar’s son and wife, who came to visit him from Dubai on December  27.

Last year, reports said that Dawood was suffering from bouts of depression after his third child — and only son - Moin Nawaz D. Kaskar, 31, who has turned his back on the "family business" is a devout Muslim who has chosen to become a 'maulana', or a cleric-cum-religious teacher.

Moin's main religious activities comprise teaching Holy Quran and Islamic preachings to young children, leading the call of prayers and congregation of 'namaz' at various occasions and other social-religious responsibilities associated with a cleric.

More so, Dawood's other brother Anees Ibrahim Kaskar is now ageing and reportedly not in robust health, other brothers are deceased and no reliable close relatives available to take over the reins of the empire.

Earlier, Iqbal Kaskar had revealed that Dawood is in excellent health and living in Karachi under the protective eyes of the Pakistani agencies, dismissing all speculation on his physical well-being that keeps floating occasionally.
