ED seizes Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar's flat in Thane in money laundering case

In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a major action in Mumbai’s Thane, seizing a flat belonging to Iqbal Kaskar, the brother of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. This move is part of an ongoing investigation into a money laundering case involving Dawood's criminal network. Iqbal Kaskar, who has been embroiled in several legal cases, had his Thane property targeted after ED identified its alleged connection to illicit funds. The action underscores the agency’s intensified efforts to dismantle the financial operations supporting Dawood's syndicate. This is yet another step in the central government’s larger crackdown on assets linked to the underworld and terror financing. The ED’s move comes amidst heightened scrutiny of properties tied to Dawood Ibrahim's family and associates. Such actions are seen as critical in curbing illegal financial activities and asserting control over organized crime networks in the country.
