Shabir Ibrahim Kaskar (1955 – 12 February 1981) was a notorious Indian criminal based in Mumbai. He was the brother of Dawood Ibrahim, leader of the D-Company. The rise of the brothers in Mumbai's underworld and the sympathetic attitude of the Mumbai Police Department toward them evoked the jealousy and resentment of other established gang members from the Pathan gang that dominated the South Mumbai area. The inter-gang rivalry grew to such an extent that Manya Surve and his gang, along with Amirzada, Shahzaib Ilyas, Alamzeb and Siddique, plotted to kill Shabir and Dawood. On 12 February 1981, they shot Kaskar at a petrol pump in Prabhadevi. The murder marked an important chapter in Mumbai's underworld as it unleashed a gruesome gang war between Ibrahim's gang and the Pathan gang, leading to a spate of shootouts until the retired don, Karim Lala, requested a truce. Eventually the Pathan gang ceded dominance to Ibrahim's gang.
