Mumbai, Sept. 22 (PTI): Dawood Ibrahim's wife Mehajabin Shaikh had visited Mumbai to meet her father last year, the fugitive gangster's brother Iqbal Kaskar has told police.

Kaskar, who has been arrested in an extortion case, had earlier told interrogators that Dawood, a designated global terrorist, was still in Pakistan.

Kaskar, arrested by the anti-extortion cell of Thane police earlier this week, has given some vital information about Dawood and his family, the officers said.

According to the officers, Kaskar has allegedly told the interrogators that Mehajabin alias Zubeena Zarin had come to Mumbai some time last year to meet her father Salim Kashmiri, who lives here with his family.

After meeting Kashmiri and other family members, Mehajabin had quietly left the country, they said.

Kaskar has provided the addresses of four of Dawood's residences in Karachi, the officers said.

Quoting Kaskar, the officers said Dawood, his other brother Anees Ibrahim and his close aide Chhota Shakeel live together in a posh locality in the Pakistani port city.

Ibrahim usually calls up his family members in Mumbai on Id, the police said.

The team which is interrogating Kaskar for the past four days also asked him about Dawood's health.

According to the officers, Kaskar has claimed Dawood is "fit and fine" and not suffering from any ailment. His claims, made before a Thane crime branch team, are being verified, an officer who is part of the probe into the extortion case said.

Kaskar and his associates had allegedly been threatening a prominent builder in Thane in Dawood's name since 2013 and had extorted Rs 30 lakh and four flats from him. Kaskar was deported from the UAE in 2003.
