The fray of members who could fill-in Dawood’s shoes includes 4 members – his long-time close aide Chhota Shakeel, and his three brothers Anees, Humayun and Mustaqeem. Two other brothers of Dawood – Iqbal Kaskar and Noor-ul-Haq are not among the probable candidates. While Noor-ul-Haq is dead, Iqbal has been deported to Mumbai way back in 2006, and currently placed under house arrest in Mumbai.

Former informants of D-company have hinted that the underworld empire will be inherited by Anees Ibrahim, who is among the good books of Dawood. His other two brothers Humayun and Mustaqeem are reportedly now much less involved in the criminal world.

Although, the reigns of D-company is now majorly managed by Chhota Shakeel, he would not be granted the top command. Similar to any other empire, Dawood would ensure that the utmost leadership remains within his family rank.
