The media asked Mamta Kulkarni a question about Dawood Ibrahim. In response, she said, “I have nothing to do with Dawood.” She further replied, “What do I have to do with Dawood? I have nothing to do with him. I was definitely linked to someone, but you will see that he did not carry out any bombings or commit any anti-national acts. I am not with him, but he is not a terrorist.”

Dawood Ibrahim is not a terrorist, he did not carry out the Mumbai blasts…’
She further added, “You should understand the difference. The Dawood Ibrahim you mention, the one with whom I am associated, never carried out a bomb blast in Mumbai, have you ever heard of it? My name was never associated with Dawood Ibrahim, and I have never met him in my life.”

This statement sparked an uproar on social media. She is being accused of defending Dawood Ibrahim. After this, she has now broken her silence on the entire controversy.
