Mumbai: Arguably India’s most wanted fugitive Dawood Ibrahim, a designated terrorist who is alleged to be the king of Mumbai underworld and the mastermind of the 1992 serial bomb blast in the country’s business capital, is back in the news.

In a latest, a special court in Mumbai sentenced a ‘gutka’ manufacturer and two others for aiding Dawood in setting up a ‘gutka’ plant in Pakistan’s Karachi.

Joshi, Jamiruddin Ansari and Farukh Mansuri were convicted under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and Indian Penal Code provisions by special judge BD Shelke.
