Dawood’s wife visited Mumbai last yr: Kaskar

Mumbai, September 22

Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s wife Mehajabin Shaikh visited Mumbai to meet her father last year, police officials said, quoting the fugitive gangster’s brother Iqbal Kaskar, who has been held in an extortion case.

Kaskar had earlier told interrogators that Dawood, a designated global terrorist, was still in Pakistan. Kaskar, arrested by the anti-extortion cell of the Thane police earlier this week, has given some vital information about Dawood and his family.

According to officials, Kaskar has allegedly told them that Dawood’s wife Mehajabin Shaikh, alias Zubeena Zarin, came to Mumbai some time last year to meet her father Salim Kashmiri, who lives here with his family. After meeting Kashmiri and his family members, Mehajabin quietly left the country, they said.  Kaskar has also provided addresses of four residences of Dawood in Karachi, officials said. — PTI
