Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Kaskar was on Wednesday arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai in connection with a drugs case in Jammu and Kashmir.
Kaskar was allegedly peddling 25 kg charas from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab, which was also to be distributed in Mumbai.
NCB has taken production remand of Kaskar and he will be brought to the agency’s office tomorrow between 11 am and 12 noon.
Four other accused have also been arrested in this case, while another person is being questioned.
Earlier, Kaskar was involved in a money laundering case and the Enforcement Directorate had registered a case against him in connection with alleged extortion of a leading builder in Maharashtra. Kaskar and his gang members had allegedly extorted Rs 3 crore from the builder in north Mumbai.
Kaskar, who was deported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2003, is said to be operating Dawood’s real estate business in the city, according to the police.
He was also wanted in a murder case and the Sara Sahara illegal construction case. He was, however, acquitted in both the cases in 2007.
