India condemns UN report labeling Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company as India-based

India’s First Secretary Raghoo Puri accused UN Special Rapporteur Ben Saul of factual errors after a counter-terrorism report called Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company an India-based gang.

India’s First Secretary Raghoo Puri publicly challenged UN Special Rapporteur Ben Saul after a counter-terrorism report described underworld boss Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company as an India-based criminal network with terrorist ties. Puri emphasized that UN listings show Ibrahim living in Pakistan and that he has been wanted in India since 1993, long before his 2003 Security Council designation for Al-Qaeda connections. He criticised the report for omitting these facts and warned that such inaccuracies undermine the UN’s legitimacy.

One outlet also responded to Pakistan’s statements on Kashmir, reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh remain inseparable parts of India. India called for impartial, evidence-based reporting and warned that human-rights rhetoric should not shield terror sponsors. The exchange highlights ongoing diplomatic friction between New Delhi and the UN over terminology and narrative framing.

Why it matters

The dispute underscores how terminology in UN reports can affect diplomatic relations and the perception of terrorist networks.
