Indian intelligence agencies are tightlipped about reports that suggest underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, the key accused in the 1993 bomb blast cases, is either injured or has been picked up by Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence agency.

Reports had said that Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, another key accused in the serial blasts case, were in ISI's custody and that Pakistan may even eliminate them.

The Pakistani administration has been under pressure from the United States to take action against Dawood after Washington declared the latter a terrorist.
