A court issued a production warrant against fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar in connection with a money laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Kaskar is currently lodged in Thane jail in connection with multiple cases of extortion.

While issuing the production warrant, special judge MG Deshpande said the ED will make all the arrangements to escort the accused and produce him before the court on February 18. The court further said the probe agency will also resubmit him in the crime concerned (extortion cases). The ED's move to interrogate Kaskar has come a day after it conducted multiple searches in Mumbai as part of a money-laundering probe into the operations of the underworld, linked illegal property deals and hawala transactions.
