Another fellow Indian in Forbes List

Unfortunately this is one list which does not stir any pride: Dawood 4th ‘most wanted’ criminal on Forbes list 

🙁

Some believe naming and shaming the criminals and the countries that harbour them will help…

Referring to the Forbes list, former CBI director U S Misra (said)…”These lists will put pressure on such countries which will have to answer their own people in due course for giving shelter to the fugitives.

Misra, a former Interpol vice-president, said details of such fugitives…will tell the world how the country concerned was not cooperating with Interpol by failing to deliver on the promises made to the global police body.

The Forbes list has, in fact, mentioned the possible hideouts of Dawood (in Pakistan), Osama (in Pakistan’s Waziristan region)…Interpol secretary general Ronald Noble…told Forbes.com, “…their crimes have been so significant that they should be pursued globally.”

But I doubt that Dawood Ibrahim is on the agenda during Shri Pranab Mukherjee’s visit to Pakistan next month.

Also from the Forbes report

“…Though the Pakistani government denies it, the 52-year-old Ibrahim is probably in Pakistan. He is believed to have close links to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency and travels on passports from India, Yemen, Pakistan. There are rumors that he has had plastic surgery to alter his appearance.”
