New Delhi:
India's top anti-terror body has announced a ₹ 25-lakh reward for giving information on "global terrorist" Dawood Ibrahim and released a new photo of him. The National Investigation Agency, or NIA, has also placed a bounty of ₹ 20 lakh on Dawood Ibrahim's lieutenant Chhota Shakeel. Other terrorists Anees Ibrahim, Javed Chikna and Tiger Memon have a bounty of ₹ 15 lakh each.
The NIA in a statement said Dawood Ibrahim and the others are "working in active collaboration with international terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Al Qaeda.
India last year told the UN Security Council that Dawood Ibrahim, who perpetrated the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, and other UN-designated terrorists "unsurprisingly" continue to enjoy "patronage" in a neighbouring country, calling for focused international efforts to address threats posed by one of the most wanted men and terror groups Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
