Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, one of India’s most wanted criminals, has evaded authorities for several decades now. Dawood runs one of the biggest crime syndicates in the world with business interests spread across at least three continents – Asia, Europe, and Africa. On Monday, Dawood’s younger brother Iqbal Kaskar was arrested by Thane Police’s Anti-Extortion Cell over a case of extortion indicating that Dawood’s family may still be operating criminal activities in Mumbai.

Dawood’s case is made more intriguing by the fact that a large number of his family have collaborated in his activities.

Here’s a look at the notorious Kaskar family of Sheikh Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar.

Parents: Sheikh Ibrahim Ali Kaskar and Amina Ibrahim Kaskar
