Orchestrated by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim the blasts were an act of revenge against the communal riots that swept through Mumbai in December 1992 and January 1993 after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 6 1992. At least 900 people were killed in the riots and more than 2 000 were injured the majority of them Muslims.Immediately after the explosions the state government had set up a special court under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act to hold trials in the case. So far the Tada court has convicted 106 people for their involvement in carrying out the blasts.In September 2017 a special Terrorist and Disruptive Activity court in Mumbai sentenced Abu Salem to life in connection with the case. Karimullah Khan another convict in the case also got life imprisonment. Tahir Merchant and Firoz Khan were sentenced to death and Riyaz Siddiqui was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In June 2017 the court had found Salem and Mustafa Dossa guilty for the blasts and had acquitted Abdul Qayoom. Dossa who had been held responsible for acquiring weapons used in the attacks from Pakistan died later that month. Yakub Memon one of the convicts was hanged in July 2015. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt was also convicted for his involvement and served jail term first during the trial and then from 2013 to 2016.
Well-known criminal lawyer Shyam Keswani on Tuesday said fugitive mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar is reportedly keen to return to India but with certain preconditions which are not acceptable to the Indian government. Speaking to the media outside the Thane Court where he represented Iqbal Ibrahim Kaskar (the absconder don s brother) in an extortion case the lawyer said among the conditions Dawood has stipulated are that he should be lodged only in the high-secure precincts of Arthur Road Central Jail (ARCJ) in Mumbai. He had also conveyed his intentions through (former union minister and eminent lawyer) Ram Jethmalani a few years ago but the Indian government has not entertained any of his preconditions to return Keswani said. The ARCJ is the same prison where the Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab was lodged for nearly four years till his hanging for his role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. Keswani s statement on Dawood s desire to return came more than six months after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena President Raj Thackeray made a similar revelation in Mumbai. In his explosive remarks Thackeray had claimed that not only was Dawood keen to come back but he was reportedly negotiating a settlement with the Modi government. The MNS chief further said Dawood was very sick and wanted to breathe his last in India. In a related development Iqbal was sent to police custody till Friday by a Special Court here on Tuesday in a land-grab and extortion case filed against him by the Thane Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC). At least two others wanted in this case - Bhavar Kothar and Bharat Jain -- are absconding said AEC chief Pradeep Sharma. Opposing the police custody of Iqbal currently in judicial custody for other cases Keswani said it was puzzling when the crime was committed since his client (Iqbal) has been in police and judicial custody in Thane since his arrest on September 19 from Mumbai. This is the same case in which for the first time the police have shown the three Kaskar siblings - Dawood Anees (both absconding) and Iqbal - as accused. The case pertains to alleged extortion of Rs 3 crore from a builder in a deal involving a 38-acre plot of land worth crores of rupees in Gorai a coastal village in south-west Thane.
THANE: A magistrate s court in Thane was informed that fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim had offered to return to India provided the authorities kept him locked in Arthur Road jail and nowhere else during the trial period . In fact he had expressed his intent very clearly to senior counsel Ram Jethmalani. But the government refused to accept his conditional return and till this day Dawood has not been arrested senior lawyer Shyam Keswani who is representing Dawood s younger brother Iqbal Kaskar in an extortion case said. Kaskar was produced in the court of chief judicial magistrate R V Thamadekar on Tuesday by Thane police for extension of his custody in an extortion case. The anti-extortion unit of Thane police named Kaskar and his brothers Dawood and Anees for threatening a Mira Road builder. The chief judicial magistrate (CJM) on a lighter note asked Kaskar if he has any kind of fear and knew about the whereabouts of his other family members and that he should share the information with the police. Kaskar response was a terse No . The CJM then asked Kaskar if he had spoken to Dawood in recent times. The court went silent for a moment. Kaskar replied that he was not aware about his brother s location. Kaskar however said he did talk to Dawood on mobile phone but his number was never displayed and so he was not aware about his whereabouts. At this moment Kaskar s counsel Keswani stood up and told the court that Dawood wanted to return to India and Jethmalani had conveyed it to the government. Keswani added that after Kaskar was deported from Dubai in 2003 he brought him in front of court and it was only then that the law enforcement agency came to know of Kaskar s identity. Keswani informed the court that his client is suffering from diabetics and necessary medical treatment should be made available to him. The court directed the investigators to take Kaskar to Thane Civil Hospital. After hearing both the sides the court extended the custody of Kaskar for three days.
Gangster Dawood Ibrahim is willing to come to India but on certain conditions his brother Iqbal Kaskar s lawyer Shyam Keswani told a court in Thane Maharashtra on Tuesday the Hindustan Times reported. Kaskar was arrested on September 18 2017 in connection with an extortion case. On Tuesday the court extended his police custody till March 9.Ibrahim wants to be kept in Mumbai s Arthur Road jail and is ready to face all the charges against him the lawyer told Chief Judicial Magistrate RV Thamadekar. If a compromise could be arrived at with Abu Salem why not with Ibrahim Keswani asked. In fact he had expressed his intent very clearly to senior counsel Ram Jethmalani The Times of India quoted Keswani as saying. But the government refused to accept his conditional return and till this day Dawood has not been arrested. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray had claimed in September 2017 that Ibrahim is negotiating with the Centre to return to India and spend his last days in his home country. The Bharatiya Janata Party Thackeray had alleged wanted to bring Ibrahim back and claim credit for it before the 2019 General Elections.

I was narrating an incident (in the court) that had happened some six-seven years ago and it was misinterpreted by the media advocate Shyam Keswani told PTI. He said he was informing the magistrate yesterday who was hearing the police s plea on remand of Dawood s younger brother Iqbal Kaskar in an extortion case. The anti-extortion unit of Thane police named Kaskar and his brothers- Dawood and Anees Ibrahim- for threatening a builder. I told the magistrate that it happened that Dawood had expressed his willingness to return to India to a top lawyer Keswani said. However his condition was that he should be kept in high security Arthur Road Jail and his trial is being conducted in the jail premises. Keswani said his response about Dawood was in reply to the magistrate who apparently in lighter vein told Kaskar to share with police if he had any information about Dawood s whereabouts. Kaskar replied in the negative Keswani said. Kaskar told the court that he was not aware of his location. At this Keswani narrated the events that happened many years ago.(This story has not been edited by Business Standard staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

The Thane police s Crime Branch had arrested Kaskar along with others on September 18 last year for allegedly threatening a city-based builder in the name of Dawood Ibrahim and extorting money as well as four flats. A case was then filed under IPC sections 384 (punishment for extortion) 386 (extortion by putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) at the Kasarvadavali police station. On September 18 Kaskar was held along with accomplices Mumtaz Shaikh and Israr Sayyed for extorting four flats and Rs 30 lakh from a builder in Maharashtra. Later the police had also booked him following another complaint of extortion lodged by a Thane-based https://designshack.net/member/kkflipkart/ jeweller. The third case in which he was yesterday remanded in police custody pertained to allegedly extorting Rs 3 crore from a prominent builder in North Mumbai. Following the builder s complaint the police had registered the case against Kaskar and his gang members in October last year. Kaskar who was deported from the United Arab Emirates in 2003 is said to be operating his brother s real estate business in Mumbai. He is presently lodged in the Thane District Central Jail.
