Three held for organising extortion crimes linked to Jathedi gang
In a breakthrough against the extortion related crimes, three members linked to Kala Jathedi gang were apprehended following a shootout from South West Delhi’s Dwarka.
Police in Maharashtra’s Thane have detained Iqbal Ibrahim Kaskar, brother of absconding mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, for questioning in an extortion case, official sources said late on Monday.
Kaskar was picked up from his south Mumbai residence by a team of Thane Anti-Extortion Cell headed by former ‘encounter specialist’ Pradeep Sharma.
