Minister of State (MoS) for Home Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said that fresh evidences surfacing about India's most wanted fugitive Dawood Ibrahim only strengthened India's position which it had held all along and asked Pakistan to act on handing him over to New Delhi.

"It's already a stated position which the Government of India has taken and this demand of the Government of India is always known and already Pakistan has been under pressure that he should be handed over. If fresh evidence has come up it is making the case stronger, so let Pakistan act on that," he told mediapersons here.

Earlier this week, a western intelligence agency had revealed that it had taped a conversation between Dawood and a real estate agent of Dubai, which proves that the underworld don is based in Karachi.

According to reports a series of never heard before tapes have been accessed from a website Newsmobile.in giving an insight into the life of Dawood Ibrahim.

While Pakistan continues to deny the whereabouts of Dawood, based on months of surveillance mounted on the underworld don Islamabad's lie appears to have been nailed. The tapes have reportedly been procured from western diplomatic sources and it is being established that Dawood is running his business empire around the globe with impunity.
