Iqbal Kaskar, the brother of wanted fugitive Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, was on Monday arrested by the Thane Police Crime Branch.

Sources confirmed that Iqbal, who stays in Bhendi Bazaar, was arrested from his residence in connection with a case registered against him by a Thane-based builder.

According to the builder, on Iqbal’s demand, he had paid him some money in the past. When his demands did not stop, he approached the Thane police.

“We arrested Iqbal after inquiries confirmed his involvement in the offence. We might arrest some more accused in the case soon,” a Thane police officer said.

Iqbal is the younger brother of Dawood.
