The paper said though Pakistan High Commissioner in Delhi Abdul Basit said there was no question of handing over  Dawood Sheikh Ibrahim as he was not in his country,  documentary evidence available with the Indian security agencies nails this as a lie.
The paper, which also published the documents, said Indian agencies also have documents that show that Dawood's family members travelled between Pakistan and Dubai. 

 

"They also have images of Dawood's Pakistani passport. With passport numbers, flight and passenger manifest details available with Indian agencies, there is irrefutable evidence that Dawood and his brood stay in Karachi. His latest photographs indicate that the 59-year-old crime lord has a receding hairline, is clean shaven and has not undergone any facial cosmetic surgery," the paper reported.

In July, India's senior advocate Ram Jethmalani had said that he had spoken to underworld don and one of India's most wanted terrorists Dawood Ibrahim, who had offered to return India and was ready to face the trial.

 

Media reports quoted Jethmalani as saying that Dawood told him that he was not involved in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts and was willing to return to India to face trial but feared threat to his life. 

Jethmalani added that he informed then Maharashtra chief minister Sharad Pawar about Dawood's willingness to return. 

 India on July 30 hanged Yakub Memon, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
