Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's nephew Sohail Kaskar is likely to be deported to India from the United States soon.
The Mumbai Police had reportedly requested the Centre to get in touch with the authorities in the US, after which officials there agreed to send Kaskar back to India. The process has already begun, and the police expect the formalities to be completed in the next few days, after which Kaskar will to be flown to India.
