Dawood Ibrahim, India’s most wanted fugitive is suffering from 'life-threatening' gangrene, a media report said.

Doctors in Pakistan, treating Dawood said that the condition of his gangrene is at such an advanced stage, that he is immobile, and soon they will have no option but to amputate his legs, CNN-News18 reported.

According to doctors, the kind of gangrene that Dawood suffering from is life-threatening and a considerable amount of the body tissue in his legs are already dead.

The report said gangrene was caused by loss of effective local blood supply due to high blood pressure and blood sugar.

Dawood, the man who was responsible for the 1993 Bombay blasts which left 257 people dead, has been receiving treatment at his posh residence in the upscale Clifton neighborhood of Karachi and being treated by doctors at the Liaquat National Hospital and the Combined Military Hospital.

The report also claimed that Dawood, who is in the protection of ISI will not be moved out of Karachi. It was decided in a high level meeting that Army doctors will take the lead in the treatment and support will be given to him in Karachi itself.
