Where Is Dawood Ibrahim?
How were the calls from Pakistan to Dubai intercepted? Does India have the ability? What other calls are getting intercepted? I am reminded of the movie "Enemy of the state"
How come India is not following up with UAE on extradition? Does India have a better relation with Pakistan than with UAE?
