Sources revealed that the assassination bid is being attributed to members of the Bhatti faction, a local gang that has an interest in controlling the drug trade in Pakistan. It is believed that the Bhatti gang is associated with Dawood's arch rival the Chota Rajan gang.

The incident comes as a major jolt to the D-gang after the sudden death of another brother Noora in April this year. The reigns of the D-gang are now in the hands of younger brother Mustaqeen.
