Mumbai: Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s youngest brother Humayun Kaskar, 40, died of cancer on Thursday in Karachi. He had been suffering from cancer for a long time and succumbed to the disease on Thursday afternoon.
Humayun, who fled along with Dawood in the late 1980s, was suffering from cancer since 2007. His burial took place on Friday at Abdullah Shah Ghazi Dargah in Karachi's Clifton.
