On October 20, Iqbal Kaskar, brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, signed a bond before ACP Mangesh Pote of Dongri division, promising that he would not commit any offence for the next six months.

In February, mid-day had reported that Kaskar had been granted bail in connection with an extortion case registered at JJ Marg police station. However, in June this year Senior Police Inspector Anil Madvi had written to the then-ACP of Dongri Division seeking preventive action against Kaskar.
