Iqbal Kaskar was arrested by Thane's Anti-Extortion Cell head Pradeep Sharma last night

The Anti-Extortion Cell of the Thane Crime Branch on Monday evening arrested Iqbal Kaskar, brother of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, in an extortion case. The arrest came about after controversial encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma - who was recently reinstated into the police force in the anti-extortion cell of the Thane crime branch — followed up on a tip-off he’d received about Kaskar extorting money from builders.
