In evidence to show that Dawood is holed up in Pakistan, a dossier prepared by India listed nine residences of the underworld don in that country and stated that he is known to frequently change his locations and addresses there.

The information about the residences in Pakistan, including one bought near the house of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, son of late former PM Benazir Bhutto, in Karachi two years ago is contained in the dossier, as per PTI.

Pakistan has been consistently saying that Dawood is not living in Pakistan.

"Such people keep changing their location. But he is permanently living in Pakistan," Singh told had reporters in Lucknow.
