Son turns Maulana, Dawood ‘depressed’

Thane : Absconding mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar is reported to be suffering from bouts of depression owing to a family hurdle, which, despite his manpower and gunpower, he is unable to resolve, according to police officials.The problem apparently is his third child — and only son — Moin Nawaz D Kaskar, 31, who has turned his back on the “family business”, is a devout Muslim who has chosen to become a Maulana, or a cleric-cum-religious teacher.
“Moin is understood to be deadly against his father’s illegal activities, which have given the entire family a notorious reputation worldwide and made many of them wanted fugitives everywhere,” Thane Anti-Extortion Cell head Pradeep Sharma said. He said this and other nuggets of an internal strife in the family tumbled out in bits and pieces during the ongoing interrogation of Iqbal Ibrahim Kaskar, Dawood’s younger brother, who was nabbed in three extortion cases last September by the Thane AEC.Iqbal Kaskar has informed the investigators that a deeply worried Dawood is afflicted by bouts of despondency over who would look after and handle his vast underworld empire in the future.
