Kaskar was arrested in 2017 in connection with an extortion and MCOCA case registered by the Thane police. Subsequently, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took his custody in 2022 to investigate a money laundering case based on the FIR. He has been in jail custody since then.
In its order dated July 26, the Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court observed that the probe agency needs to conduct a meticulous investigation to ensure that all necessary evidence is gathered and analyzed. The court emphasized that this process cannot be hurried or compromised, even if it takes time.
TheェED has been investigating a money laundering case linked to the Shine City Properties fraud, in which Himanshu Kumar was arrested in Lucknow. The investigation revealed a complex Ponzi scheme that defrauded the public by collecting funds for supposed real estate investments. The accused allegedly transferred and diverted money through various entities, with Rs 40 crore funneled to Kumar's controlled companies.
This development is significant in the context of the ongoing efforts to combat money laundering and other financial crimes in India. The ED and other law enforcement agencies have been working tirelessly to identify and prosecute cases of money laundering, which often have links to organized crime and terrorism.
Information Dawood Ibrahim is a notorious underworld don who is wanted in connection with several crimes, including the 1993 Bombay blasts. His brother Iqbal Kaskar has also been accused of involvement in various illegal activities, including extortion and money laundering.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is a law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing economic laws and preventing financial crimes in India. The ED was established in 1956 and is headquartered in New Delhi.
