File photo of Iqbal KaskarTHANE: Five police personnel have been suspended for allegedly giving special 'treatment' at the civil hospital to Dawood Ibrahim's brother, Iqbal Kaskar, who was arrested in extortion cases.
Kaskar was caught on camera, in a sting operation by a private news channel, following which the five constables were suspended by joint police commissioner Madhukar Pandey.
Sources said Kaskar was admitted to the government hospital for nearly 10 hours on Thursday after a court order for treatment of teeth and blood sugar levels. But he was seen walking at the government hospital and meeting with relatives. He was also seen eating biryani and smoking a cigarette in front of police.
After this, he was seen distributing money to people who helped with the special treatment, and then he returned to jail.
Taking serious note of the incident, the senior police officials suspended the five. Sources said many take advantage of the treatment at government hospitals for their comfort and many such incidents have been reported before.
Kaskar had been arrested in three extortion cases filed on complaints against builders in Thane. Presently, he is lodged in Thane central jail under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) along with other accused.
