The Forbes magazine has come up with the list of world’s most wanted fugitives. India’s most wanted man Dawood Ibrahim has figured in the Forbes’ first-ever list of the world’s ten most wanted fugitives which is topped by terror mastermind Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden. Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, who heads D-Company, an organised crime group based in Mumbai, ranks fourth on the list.

Though the Pakistan government denies it, the 52-year-old Ibrahim is probably in that country, the magazine claims. He is believed to have close links to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency. Dawood travels on passports from India, Yemen and Pakistan. The magazine also points out at rumours that he has had plastic surgery to alter his appearance.

Forbes says it consulted with law enforcement agencies in the US & around the world to identify these 10. Everyone on the list has been criminally indicted or charged, some in national jurisdictions & some by international tribunals. They all are accused of a history of committing serious crimes & are considered a dangerous menace to the world. Each of the members on the list also represent a type of criminal problem that legal institutions are grappling with in diverse jurisdictions, it says.
