MUMBAI: Revelations into the recent arrest of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s brother, Iqbal Kaskar and two of his aides in an extortion case by the Anti-Extortion Cell of the neighbouring Thane Police have unearthed the illegal sourcing money in Pakistan via Angadiyas and a hawala racket.
Last Monday, Kaskar and his aides — Asrar Ali Jamil Sayed (52) and Mumtaj Ejaz Shaikh (48) — were arrested by a Thane Police team, led by police inspector Pradip Sharma.
In the week-long investigation so far, Kaskar has provided many vital pieces of information about Dawood and his business.
Sources in Thane police said, ”We obtained one diary from Kaskar’s house which indicated how many Angadiyas and a hawala racket operator are working for Dawood and sending him money from India. Hawala racketeers from across the nation are under the scanner and they may be summoned to the Thane Police commissioner’s office at any time for investigation.” (AGENCIES)
