BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday tweeted that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim was in China getting an artificial limb. Citing that he got the information from 'reliable sources', Swamy's claims come days after rumours of the underworld don had a brain stroke did the rounds on social media.
Dawood was reportedly seen in a Beijing hospital to get a "Jaipur" right leg. I have asked my friends in China if it is confirmed. Wait

Ibrahim is accused of plotting the 1993 Bombay serial blasts, in which 257 people were killed. He is also accused of masterminding many other terror attacks in India and faces multiple charges of money-laundering and extortion in several countries.
Earlier this year, a media report claimed that Rs 15000 crore worth of property owned by Ibrahim was seized in the UAE on the basis of a dossier provided by the Indian government.
