In her Facebook profile, Dawood Ibrahim’s daughter has given away the fact that India’s most wanted criminal is still living in Karachi. Pakistan may claim it has no clue to Dawood’s whereabouts. But a status message posted on Dawood’s daughter Mahrukh’s Facebook profile on May 5, says tellingly: “Missing mom and dad and Junaid and Reenz and Moeen and mazia and everyone in Karachi.”

The last four are all Dawood’s family members.

Mahrukh, who is said to live in Lahore with Junaid, cricketer Javed Miandad’s son whom she married in 2005, reveals in the profile that she went to school in Clifton, an upmarket area in Karachi where the Bhuttos too had a home. Indian security agencies have been insisting Dawood lives in Clifton.

Mahrukh and Junaid have put up several pictures on Facebook. Mahrukh’s profile reveals that she has more than 250 friends on Facebook across the globe.

The privacy settings on Mahrukh’s profile were changed on Friday and access to the pictures posted by her was blocked. Earlier, any facebook subscriber could visit her profile. Indian intelligence sources said they were aware of Mahrukh’s profile.
