Iqbal Kaskar, brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, was today remanded in judicial custody till February 20 by a magistrate's court here. He was arrested on February 3 in connection with an extortion case registered with J J Marg police station in central Mumbai.

The police sought further remand of Kaskar, whose police custody ended today, on the ground that they wanted to investigate his connections with Dawood and the latter's involvement in the case. However, the magistrate rejected the remand application after Kaskar's lawyer argued that further custody was not required.
