New Delhi, 19 January 2022

As per news report of The Indian Express, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador T S Tirumurti on Tuesday told the International Counter Terrorism Conference 2022 organised by the Global Counter-Terrorism Council that linkages between terrorism and transnational organised crime must be fully recognised and addressed vigorously. “We have seen the crime syndicate responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts not just given state protection but are enjoying 5-star hospitality,” he said. Tirumurti’s remarks were a thinly-veiled reference to D-Company and its head Ibrahim, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan. In August 2020, Pakistan had for the first time acknowledged the presence of Ibrahim on its soil after the government imposed sweeping sanctions on 88 banned terror groups and their leaders, which also included the name of the underworld don wanted by India.
