Organised crime in Pakistan

Organised crime in Pakistan encompasses the activities carried out by various criminal groups within the country. The Pakistani mafia operates internationally and is primarily organised along ethnic lines. This mafia is engaged in a range of illegal activities, including drug trafficking, contract killings, land grabbing, arms smuggling, and other criminal enterprises.

According to a report from the United States Congress, Dawood Ibrahim, an infamous Indian underworld figure and one of the world's most wanted fugitives, is said to have his "D-Company" in a "strategic alliance" with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Since going into hiding, his whereabouts have often been linked to Karachi, Pakistan, although Pakistani officials have consistently refuted these claims.
