Contrary to the rumors circulating on social media, credible intelligence sources have discredited the alleged poisoning and hospitalization of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistan. These rumors originated from a video shared by a Pakistani YouTuber, who speculated on Ibrahim's poisoning and hospitalization based on unverified social media reports. The YouTuber also linked these rumors to an internet shutdown in Pakistan, but authoritative sources have dismissed these claims, attributing the connectivity disruptions to a virtual meeting of the opposition Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Netblocks, an internet watchdog, reported significant restrictions on major social media platforms in Pakistan during the same time frame as the PTI's online political gathering. Netblocks suggested that this incident is consistent with previous instances of internet censorship targeting opposition leader Imran Khan and his party PTI. It is important to note that despite international sanctions, Dawood Ibrahim and his family have found refuge in Pakistan's deep state for many years. Intercepted calls between Ibrahim and his associate Farooq have provided insights into Ibrahim's lifestyle.

LV shoes for men were purchased by Ibrahim from a store in Jeddah. In a recorded phone call, he specifically states that his size is 42, which corresponds to a size 9. The criminal boss explains the differences between UK and EU shoe sizes, and also mentions his previous shopping experience in Jeddah. Farooq, one of Ibrahim's associates, informs him of his plans to travel to Mecca after Friday prayers and return to Pakistan on Sunday. Additionally, Ibrahim requests that he bring back holy Zamzam water. In another conversation, Ibrahim's first wife Maizabin and an unidentified associate, whom she refers to as a brother-like figure, discuss a trip involving a makeup budget of 2 lakh Pakistani Rupees.
