This famous photo of Dawood Ibrahim hiding in a hole somewhere like a scoundrel and a rat was taken by Bhawan Singh, a resident of our Pauri district.

This inauguration was done today by research journalist VIVEK SHUKLA.
Dawood then stayed in Dubai and used to bet on cricket games.
This is an old picture of Dubai itself, when he was betting with cigarette in his mouth, while watching a cricket game after betting.

Cricket is a game like that.
Bhavan had then gone there to cover this dirty game.

When Bhawan Singh saw him sitting in a cabin, he immediately took many pictures of him. When Dawood’s henchmen saw this, they forcibly asked to erase the picture and threatened him. But Dawood said let it go.
After this terrified Bhavan Singh had no option but to leave the stadium and came back. But this picture of his became immortal.

Bhavani Bhai was the photo editor of India Today, so I would go to him to get my TP’s washed during the Himalayan trips.

At that time, washing TP was very expensive in the market and was also time consuming.
Market professionals also used to steal some of the best TP from a villager like me.

Bhavani Bhai would give me TP to be washed in his lab and would come down to give me something to feed and drink.
Neither he nor I had the inferiority complex of getting TP washed illegally.

Because the concerned group was serving the desired information to the society illegally.
Chandal should eat the thief’s property.
Salute to Bhavani Bhai. And spit on Dawood, the pickpocket, the lewd, the one who has sex by stealth, the maskless man, the murderer, the traitor.
