‘Ex-Nepal prince involved in fake currency racke’

New Delhi, Aug. 31 (ANI): Nepali nationals caught by the Madhya Pradesh ATS in connection with fake currency racket have revealed Nepal’s former prince Paras’s link to India’s most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim.

Paras is the son of the former Nepal king Gyanendra, who has now taken refuge in Singapore.

The revelations came during the interrogation of two Nepali nationals, who were caught while trying to smuggle in the fake currency notes into India.

They further revealed that a prominent minister’s son Yunus Ansari was working as as the conduit between King Gyanendra’s son Paras and underworld kingpin Dawood Ibrahim, who between them have been pushing crores of fake currency into India.

According to sources, Dawood manages the printing and manufacture of the fake currency, while Paras is responsible for the transit of the money from other countries into Nepal and then its flow into India.

Paras reportedly used his influence to ensure the money reached the transit points on the India-Nepal border without any hitch. (ANI)

Indo-Pak relations won’t improve even if Dawood is handed over: Musharraf

New Delhi, Mar. 8 (ANI): Former Pakistan President General (r) Pervez Musharraf has challenged that even if Pakistan hands over Dawood Ibrahim to India, Indo-Pak relations won’t improve.

“Even if he (Dawood Ibrahim) is handed over, relations (between India and Pakistan) will not improve. I challenge,” Musharraf said.

Answering a query that Pakistan could hand over Dawood as a confidence building measure, Musharraf said “if we fail, you will hand him over back to us.”

Earlier, at India Today conclave Musharraf had claimed that he did not “know at all if he (Dawood) was in Pakistan”. The audience was taken aback when he made this claim while underlining that India and Pakistan must not harbor each other’s terrorists.

General Musharraf further said that he had no intention of joining politics, and he was happy living a retired life.

However, he was confident that the civilian government in Pakistan would take the country forward a better future. (ANI)
