ED Files Complaint Over Unauthorized Occupation of Attached Thane Flat Linked to Iqbal Kaskar
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a complaint with Thane police after a man, Haresh Kamble, allegedly illegally occupied a flat in Thane that was attached by the agency in a money laundering case linked to Iqbal Kaskar, brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim. The property, registered to Mumtaz Azaz Shaikh, was provisionally attached in 2022 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and is connected to a 2017 extortion case involving real estate developer Suresh Devichand Mehta. An FIR was registered against Kamble for unauthorized entry and replacing the lock.
