India Today TV has obtained access to a phone conversation involving underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and one of his associates, shedding light on the notorious gangster's lavish lifestyle in Karachi. The leaked audio, which surfaced amid reports of Dawood's hospitalization in Pakistan, reveals a dialogue in which he instructs his aide, Farooq, to procure a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes for him from Jeddah.
Within the audio clip, Dawood's associate conveys his prayers and intentions to meet him in Pakistan after performing Umrah in Mecca. The conversation takes a specific turn when Dawood inquires about the possibility of acquiring shoes from Jeddah, reminiscing about a particular shop. Farooq informs him that the mentioned shop is closed but assures Dawood of obtaining Louis Vuitton shoes from an alternative establishment.
Dawood Ibrahim, discernibly invested in the details, provides information about his shoe size, specifying it as 42 or number 9, and delves into explaining the distinctions between UK and EU shoe sizes.
Contrary to circulating speculations about Dawood's alleged poisoning and subsequent hospitalization in Pakistan on December 17, credible intelligence sources, as confirmed by India Today TV, have dismissed these rumors. The conjectures gained momentum following a late-night video from a Pakistani YouTuber who, relying on unverified social media reports, speculated about Dawood's health situation and connected it to an internet shutdown in Pakistan. However, authoritative sources discredited these claims, attributing the connectivity disruptions to a virtual meeting of the opposition Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
