ED gets Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar custody till Feb 24 in PMLA case

Iqbal Kaskar, brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, who was brought to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Mumbai on Friday, has been sent to ED custody till February 24 in a money laundering case.

The ED had recently registered a money laundering case against underworld don and fugitive Dawood Ibrahim and his aides for their involvement in financing terror activities. The ED will question Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar, his aides and gang members.

A special PMLA court approved a plea by the ED to take



Iqbal Kaskar in custody.

Kaskar was in judicial custody after being charged under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), following three cases of extortion registered against him by the Thane Police Crime Branch in 2017.

Kaskar was allegedly working for his brother and handling his gang activities and illegal business interests in Mumbai and other areas. Recently, it came to light that the Dawood Ibrahim gang was active in the country and were running terror activities, trying to disrupt law and order.
