• The report claims that Dawood has three Pakistani passports and Indian agencies have images of the same to prove it.

• They also possess his latest pictures that show the 59-year old without his trademark mustache and a receding hairline.

• The agencies also have documents that show Dawood's family members travelled between Pakistan and Dubai.
