Dreaded terrorist Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Kaskar’s flat in Maharashtra’s Thane was recently taken into possession by the Enforcement Directorate, officials said on Tuesday.

Kaskar, who was already in jail, was placed under fresh arrest by the ED on February 18 on money laundering charges. He is currently in jail under judicial custody.

According to the official, the residential dwelling in Neopolis Building located in Thane West was attached as part of a provisional order issued under the PMLA in 2022 against its owner Mumtaz Ezaz Shaikh.

The ED had earlier alleged that this flat was extorted by Kaskar and others from a Thane-based real estate developer Suresh Devichand Mehta.
