Iqbal Kaskar was also earlier arrested in an extortion case and is currently lodged at a jail in neighbouring Thane.

Notwithstanding, the authorities took him to a nearby civil hospital and got a checkup done for ailments he was not suffering from.

Thane’s anti-extortion cell had arrested him on September 20, 2017 for allegedly running an extortion racket.

Thane Police Commissioner passed order after a video showed Kaskar seated in a private car and eating Biryani while meeting people in jail.

During probe the alleged roles of Dawood and Anees cropped up following which they were shown as wanted accused in this offence.

'The charge sheet, which runs into thousands of pages, lists the evidences against the accused,' said the police.

The Thane police arrested Kaskar in September last year in connection with an extortion case.

Lawyer of Iqbal Kaskar (Dawood's brother) said the preconditions laid down by Dawood are not acceptable to the Indian government.

The case pertains to 38 acres of land parcel in Gorai worth around Rs 50 crore.
