Indian intelligence agencies along with the Mumbai police are expected to gather information on underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s properties in the United States and submit a report on the same to the Home Ministry.

Apart from this, information of Dawood’s different businesses, his aides and their addresses and bank accounts will also be gathered.

The Home Ministry will then share this report with the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Defence.

Earlier, the British government had already confiscated many properties of Dawood in London.

Earlier, India and the Unites States took big strides in defence ties and counterterrorism cooperation during their inaugural '2+2' dialogue here, although progress eluded on contentious issues like HIB visa, tariffs and trade.

India can take particular satisfaction that the joint statement issued at the end of talks referred to the attacks in Mumbai, Pathankot, Uri and other cross-border transgressions and called on Pakistan to ensure that the territory under its control was not used to launch terrorist strikes against other countries.

Both sides inked a long-negotiated pact which will allow India to obtain critical and encrypted defence technologies from the US, and also decided to undertake joint tri-services exercises in the eastern coast, besides taking steps forward on civil nuclear cooperation.

During the dialogue that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had with US Secretary of State Michael R Pompeo and US Defence Secretary James Mattis, the two countries also decided to set up hotlines.

On terrorism, the joint statement welcomed strengthening cooperation and action against terror outfits Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Laskhar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Hizbul Mujahideen, the Haqqani Network, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, D-Company and their affiliates.
