D-Company Panics: Ranveer Singh’s Film 'Dharundhars' Rattles Underworld, Triggering Foiled Terror Plot

India: A Bollywood film has done what many could not; it has rattled the Dawood Ibrahim gang. Ranveer Singh's two-part film 'Dharundhar' features a character called 'Bade Sahab.' This character is shown lying on a bed, weak and frail. And his appearance looks strikingly similar to Dawood Ibrahim, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan.

The gang did not take this lightly?

D-Company Wakes Up Its Network. Sources say that after the film's success, D-Company activated its ground network in Mumbai. The gang felt threatened. The film raised serious questions about Dawood's health and the gang's strength. To counter this, the gang decided to act fast and show that it is still very much alive and powerful.

New recruitment, new terror plot?

According to a report citing sources, D-Company began recruiting new members for a fresh terrorist plan. This recruitment work was handed over to the Shakeel gang.
Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI was given the job of training these new recruits and supplying them with weapons. Shooter Munna Jhingra was assigned the task of executing the attack on the ground.

Young boys misled?

The most disturbing part of this story is how these new recruits were brought in. The youth selected were from the streets of Mumbai. They were not told the real reason behind their recruitment. Instead, they were provoked over a bulldozer action on an illegal mosque in Bandra. They were told this action was against their religion. In reality, the whole operation had nothing to do with religion. It was purely about rebuilding D-Company's image and carrying out a terror strike.

Delhi police foiled the plan?

Delhi Police cracked this plot in time. Their investigation revealed direct links between ISI and the Mumbai underworld. The arrests exposed just how far the gang was willing to go.
Intelligence agencies believe that all this sudden activity by D-Company is a sign of panic, not power. The gang's extortion business has weakened. Its old network has fallen apart. Finding new members has become its biggest challenge. Agencies said that the gang, with ISI's help, was planning either a major attack inside India or targeting a high-profile person; just to make headlines and feel relevant again.
