Dawood Ibrahim is a well-known gangster in the criminal underworld of India. Because of his ties to Al-Qaeda, the US and the UN Security Council have designated him as a terrorist. The drug lord is not only a large-scale drug dealer.

Dawood Ibrahim was a police constable's son. The practice of prostitution engaging in gambling, and drug use were his main illicit activities. In the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which claimed over 170 lives, Dawood Ibrahim was listed as a suspect.

According to sources on Monday, underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim was admitted to the hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, because of a major health issue. According to information supplied by his aide, there have been multiple social media rumors claiming that Dawood Ibrahim was poisoned; however, there has been no confirmation of these reports.

He is the only patient on his floor and is being held under strict security within the hospital. According to them, the floor is only accessible by senior hospital administrators and members of his immediate family.

Leaked recording of a phone call between wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim and his assistant revealed details of the gangster's lavish lifestyle in Karachi amid allegations of his hospitalization in Pakistan.

"If you want me to bring anything from there, let me know," he can be heard saying to Dawood. Dawood Ibrahim responds, "Will you travel to Jeddah? Do you recall the store where we used to purchase our shoes?"

"That shop is closed," is Farooq's response. However, I'll bring some Louis Vuitton shoes from a different store."

In response, the mob boss states, "Okay, so my size is 42 or number 9," and proceeds to elucidate the distinctions between sizes in the UK and the EU.

The allegations gained momentum after a late-night video posted by a Pakistani YouTuber conjectured about Ibrahim's poisoning and hospitalization based on unconfirmed social media rumors.

The YouTuber went on to link these rumors to Pakistan's sudden internet outage.

Sources, however, denied these claims and blamed the problems in connectivity on a virtual gathering of Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the opposition party.
