Dawood, Anees and Iqbal Kaskar, along with 3 aides, extorted Rs 3 cr from city-based builder
Thane police on Wednesday named fugitive underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, his brothers Anees Ibrahim and Iqbal Kaskar along with three aides in a case of extortion case for allegedly squeezing Rs 3 crore from a prominent builder in Mumbai.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is may also follow suit and add the names of Dawood and Anees as wanted accusing in a case of money laundering, already registered against Kaskar and his two aides earlier, sources in the know of the case said.
In the latest case, Anees himself had called up and threatened the complainant if he did not give in demands in a 38-acre land deal in Gorai, police sources revealed.
Apart from Kaskar, Dawood and Anees have also booked three other accused, one of whom is the owner of the land.
In the FIR, the complainant alleged that the accused not only terrorised him using Dawood's name but also did not give him the promised land despite extorting Rs 3 from him.
The complainant stated that in July 2016, he received a call from an unknown international number, and the caller had said, "I am underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's man Anees speaking." The complainant said, "He told me to forget the land of Tony Lewis (co-accused in the case) that you have bought, and we have taken the Rs 2 crore you have paid Tony Bhai. If you want to live, send Rs 1 crore more within a week time to Kaskar's office. Nahin To Mere Aadmi Tumhara Game Kar Denge (otherwise my men will kill you). Dawood Bhai has asked you to take back the court case that you have filed."
Kaskar too had called the victim to meet, and allegedly threatened him several times using Dawood and Anees' name.
"The complainant had bought the land for Rs 2 crore in Gorai from Tony Lewis. However, after a few months, Lewis had increased the price of the land. The complainant then went to court. When Kaskar and other accused came into the picture, they extorted Rs 1 crore more, and did not even allow the complainant to get the land he had already paid for," said a police officer.
Meanwhile, Kaskar and his two aides — Israr Ali Sayyed and Mumtaz Shaikh — were produced in a Thane court, and were remanded to police custody for further 7 days.
