Report on Persistent Inaction Against Dawood Ibrahim
Submitted in the Public Interest by Helpful Foundation (NGO)
1. Executive Summary
Helpful Foundation, a national-interest oriented NGO, has consistently raised alarms regarding Dawood Ibrahim, a UN-designated terrorist and fugitive accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings. Despite multiple detailed representations submitted to the Government of India since 2018—containing aliases, addresses, passport details, and international references—no concrete, publicly disclosed enforcement outcome has been communicated to the complainant. Official responses largely redirect to prior media statements or mark grievances as disposed/under process without substantive action details.
2. Background and Submissions
- 2018 Grievance (PMOPG/E/2018/0449347): Filed by Helpful Foundation with extensive particulars (21 aliases, Karachi addresses, passport details, UN reference).
Status observed: Disposed without a detailed action report to the complainant. ACFrOgBzrSp6x1YmBRsCBdpgoJHeV3V… - 2022 Representation to Ministry of External Affairs: Sought clarity on diplomatic/extradition steps and prior action taken; response advised referring to a media reply on a similar subject, without case-specific disclosure.
- 2023 Grievance (PMOPG/E/2023/0232648): Filed by Dr. Ishtdev Sharma, highlighting alleged relocation and ongoing concerns; status marked Under process with no outcome communicated at the time of record. Complaint lodge Dawood 1st
3. Pattern of Official Responses
Across submissions:
- No case-specific enforcement milestones (e.g., extradition request status, mutual legal assistance outcomes, sanctions execution) were shared with the complainant.
- Responses refer to media statements or close the grievance procedurally, rather than addressing the specific questions raised.
- The absence of a transparent, reasoned reply persists over multiple years.
4. Public Interest Concerns
Helpful Foundation submits that:
- Dawood Ibrahim remains internationally designated and poses ongoing national security risks.
- Non-disclosure or procedural disposal of grievances undermines public confidence and weakens deterrence.
- When credible, structured intelligence is provided by citizens/NGOs, accountable feedback is essential—even if operational details are sensitive.
5. Accountability and Governance
Under the current administration led by Narendra Modi, the grievance records reviewed do not evidence a communicated escalation or decisive action responsive to the specific representations submitted by Helpful Foundation. This report does not allege motive; it documents a gap between submissions and disclosed outcomes.
6. Requests and Recommendations
Helpful Foundation respectfully urges:
- A reasoned, written status update on diplomatic, legal, and enforcement measures taken or attempted in response to the cited grievances.
- Time-bound accountability with a nodal officer for follow-up communications.
- Structured NGO interface for national-security related submissions, ensuring acknowledgment and outcome reporting (with necessary redactions).
- Parliamentary or independent oversight on long-pending high-risk fugitive cases to enhance transparency.
7. Conclusion
This report records persistent advocacy by Helpful Foundation and a continuing lack of disclosed action in official grievance handling concerning Dawood Ibrahim. For the sake of public trust and national security, substantive accountability—not procedural closure—is imperative.
