Along with his close aides, he allegedly escaped to Pakistan around same time. prosecution accused him of being mastermind of blasts. Despite Indian government’s persistent efforts, Pakistan has stonewalled any chance of trying to reach Ibrahim. In meanwhile, he has been consistently linked to multiple terror organizations like Lashkar-e-Toiba, which carried out several terror attacks in India over years. One such prominent attack where Ibrahim has been accused of providing logistics is 26/11 terror attack.
