New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited 25 countries in the last 15 months, including his on-going visit to the UAE, after assuming office in May last year.

Meanwhile, PM is likely to urge UAE to seize properties belonging to wanted underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Sources said that National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval, who is accompanying the PM on the tour, is carrying a confidential list of Dawood's properties in UAE. Doval's dossier on Dawood also includes all the latest information available with India about him.

Indian agencies would also provide list of Dawood's shares in many companies and details about his hotel business across UAE.

Dawood's brother Anis Ibrahim runs a company named Golden Box in Dubai with the help of his brother-in-law.
