Dawood Ibrahim wants to return to India: lawyer
Thane: Fugitive mafia don Dawood Ibrahim is "keen to return to India" if he would be lodged in the high-secure precincts of Arthur Road Central Jail (ARCJ) in Mumbai, officials told to court here.
Criminal Lawyer Shyam Keswani on Tuesday said, "He (Dawood) had conveyed his intentions through (former union minister and eminent lawyer) Ram Jethmalani a few years ago but the Indian government has not entertained any of his preconditions to return."
Mr Keswani's statement on Dawood's desire to return came more than six months after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena President Raj Thackeray made a similar revelation in Mumbai.
The case pertains to alleged extortion of Rs. 3 crore from a builder in a deal involving a 38-acre plot of land worth crores of rupees in Gorai, a coastal village in south-west Thane.

Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would probably be visiting the White House for a meeting with him in February.
Trump told reporters on Monday aboard Air Force One on his way back to Joint Base Andrews from Florida.
“I had a long talk with him this morning (Monday). He is going to be coming to the White House, over next month, probably February. We have a very good relationship with India,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The president was responding to a question on the phone call he had with Modi in the morning.
“Everything came up (in a phone call with Modi),” Trump told reporters when asked about the details of his call with Prime Minister Modi.
