Dawood Ibrahim ready to stand trial?
2006-02-14
India's most-wanted man Dawood Ibrahim, blamed for a series of blasts in Mumbai that killed 257 people in 1993, is prepared to stand trial, an aide to the fugitive crime kingpin was quoted as saying on Monday. A man claiming to be the legal consultant for Ibrahim announced that he was ready to stand trial in London, but did not rule out a return to India.

Meraj Siddiqui claimed that the charges against Ibrahim were "fabricated" and "baseless" and said that he would not get a fair trial in India. "We are ready for a fair trial in London, since all the charges against him are fabricated," the Times of India quoted Siddiqui, said to be speaking by telephone from London, as saying. The demand for a trial in Britain appeared to be based on a successful battle against extradition in London of a former suspect in the 1997 killing of a Bollywood producer, said Mumbai attorney Majeed Memon.
