They extorted ₹3 crore from builder in Thane
The Thane police has filed a chargesheet against fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim and his brothers Iqbal Kaskar and Anees Ibrahim in connection with an extortion case filed on the complaint by a builder last year.
“The chargesheet was filed in the district court on Thursday,” a senior inspector of Thane police’s Anti-Extortion Cell said on Saturday.
In October last year, the police had registered an offence of extortion based on the complaint of the builder against Iqbal Kaskar and the gang members of Dawood.
According to the complaint, Kaskar had threatened and extorted ₹3 crore from him over a deal of a 38-acre land in Gorai area.
During investigation, the alleged role of Dawood and Anees also came to light following which both were shown as wanted accused in connection with the offence, the police said.
“The charge sheet, which runs into thousands of pages, lists the evidences against the accused,” the police official said, adding, “The vital documents attached to the charge sheet include papers related to the land deal along with the payment proof. It also includes statement of the witnesses.”
The accused have been booked under IPC sections 384 (extortion), 386 (extortion by putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt) and 387 (putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt, in order to commit extortion) at the Thane Nagar police station.
Iqbal Kaskar and two of his aides were arrested in September last year by the AEC in a separate case of extortion of ₹30 lakh and four flats from a builder.
