Digital Desk: In connection with a money laundering case filed against the don and his associates, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took custody of fugitive gangster
Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar from Thane jail on Friday.
Kaskar will be presented before a special court of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in Mumbai later today, according to an ANI report quoting ED sources.
Kaskar was served with a production warrant by a court on Wednesday in connection with the case. Kaskar is now being held in the Thane jail connected to many extortion charges.
While issuing the production warrant, Special judge MG Deshpande stated that the ED would make all necessary arrangements to take the accused and present him in court on February 18.

The court also stated that the investigating agency would resubmit him in the case at hand (extortion cases). The ED's decision to question Kaskar came a day after conducting multiple searches in Mumbai as part of a money-laundering investigation into underworld operations, including illegal property dealings and hawala transactions.
The searches were carried out at several locations, including those linked to Ibrahim, the architect of the Mumbai bombings in 1993. Ibrahim's late sister Haseena Parkar, Kaskar, and a brother-in-law of Mumbai criminal Chhota Shakeel were among those arrested.
The ED's case is based on an FIR filed against Ibrahim and others by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). In addition, the National Institute of Justice had filed a criminal complaint under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
