Mumbai, July 18: Crime never pays off, and when it is a heinous crime, it definitely reaps difficulties in coming future. After arresting gangster Chota Shakeel’s close aide Ahmed Raza Wadharia two days ago, the Mumbai Police in a successful attempt arrested underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's nephew Rizwan Kaskar in connection with an extortion case.
Rizwan Kaskar, the son of Ibrahim's brother Iqbal Kaskar, was arrested on Wednesday night from the international airport when he was trying to escape the country.
Two days ago, Mumbai Police's anti-extortion cell arrested Ahmed Raza Wadharia, a close aide of Ibrahim's gang member Fahim Machmach, in an extortion case, a senior official from the crime branch said.
"During his interrogation, Rizwan Kaskar's name cropped up. Based on the information, a trap was laid and he was detained at the Mumbai international airport on Wednesday night when he was trying to escape from the country," he said. He was placed under arrest after detailed interrogation, the official added.
Ahmed Raza Wadharia alias Afroz Wadariya, who was a close aide of Shakeel and used to handle the hawala transactions for them, was arrested on Tuesday on the basis of a Look-out Circular notice issued against him. He was regarded as D-Company's main hawala operator.
