Mumbai, July 6 : Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's younger brother Mustaqeem Ali Kaskar has denied media reports that he wants to return to India because of a conflict with Dawood, Times of India reported.
In an interview to TOI, Mustaqeen said: "Why should I come to India? I don't want to return to be killed or harassed.'
"A section of the media reported that I had an argument with Bhai (Dawood) and that I want to surrender before the UAE police so that I can return to India.
"Bhai has taken care of us like a father. He is my brother and if I have committed a mistake, I will apologize to him", said Mustaqeem.
"All the reports of my return are false.I am not returning India as of now."
Kaskar, now 42, said he left India when he was 16. He studied up to class IX at Ahmed Sailor Urdu High School in Nagpada.
"This is the same school where Dawood and his siblings studied. My father took me and my brother Noora to Dubai to set up our business.
"Initially, I ran two boutiques but shut them down eventually. Now,I run my own garment factory", he said.
Mustaqueem claims he is being portrayed as a criminal even though there are no criminal case against him.
"I got married to a woman from Uttar Pradesh.The video of my wedding was aired by a private news channel for two days.
"Is getting married a crime?", asked Kaskar.
He has two daughters and two sons, all of whom are now studying in an English-medium school in Dubai.
Kaskar said, "My elder brother Iqbal returned to India only to spend four-and-a-half years in jail.
"Even today, he can't roam around freely. His driver was killed last year.
"I don't want to come to India to be killed". T
However there is a lurking wish in Mustaqeem's mind to return to India.
"Sometimes,I feel like visiting my parents grave. But I don't want to invite trouble and that is why I have no plans to return to India", he said.
Talking about his current location, Mustaqeem said, "I am in Singapore. Travelling is my hobby."
