Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Kaskar arrested in drugs case

Iqbal Kaskar, brother of gangster and Mumbai serial blasts mastermind Dawood Ibrahim, was questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau in Mumbai on Wednesday in a case related to inter-state drug supply.

Iqbal Kaskar was earlier arrested in 2017 for extorting money from builders and businessmen in Thane. He was charged under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

Iqbal Kaskar was deported to India from the United Arab Emirates in 2003 as he was wanted in a murder case and the Sara Sahara illegal construction case. However, he was acquitted in both the cases in 2007. In February 2015, Kaskar was arrested but released on bail in another extortion case.
