Bada Bhai to Bada Seth: 21 aliases of Dawood

Britain on Monday announced it is continuing financial sanctions on Dawood Ibrahim, wanted in India for various acts of crime and terrorism, including the 1993 blasts in Mumbai, and listed 21 aliases for the fugitive.

The latest “Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets in the UK”, updated by the treasury office, mentioned his Indian and Pakistani passport numbers and three addresses in Pakistan, where he is reportedly based.

Pakistan has consistently denied Ibrahim’s presence in the country. The sanctions, which include freezing of assets, were first imposed on Ibrahim by Britain in November 2003. Ibrahim was listed among 261 individuals known to have links with either al-Qaeda or the Islamic State.

Some of the aliases the treasury entry listed were: Abdul, Shaikh, Ismail; Abdul Aziz, Abdul Hamid; Abdul Rehman, Shaikh, Mohd, Ismail; Anis, Ibrahim, Shaikh, Mohd; Bhai, Bada; Bhai, Dawood; Bhai, Iqbal; Dilip, Aziz; Ebrahim, Dawood; Farooqi, Sheikh and Hasan, Kaskar, Dawood.

The other names were Hassan, Dawood; Ibrahim, Anis; Ibrahim, Dowood, Hassan, Shaikh; Kaskar, Daud, Hasan, Shaikh, Ibrahim; Kaskar, Daud, Ibrahim, Memon; Kaskar, Dawood, Hasan, Ibrahim; Memon, Dawood, Ibrahim; Sabri, Dawood; Sahab, Haji; and Seth, Bada.

Previous versions of the list mentioned Ibrahim’s four addresses in Pakistan.
