Dawood’s ancestral home, five other properties auctioned

MUMBAI: Six properties of fugitive Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, including his ancestral home in Mumbke village in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri district, were sold in an auction held on Tuesday, an official said.

The auction was held by authorities under the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act (SAFEMA), the official said.

The ancestral home of India’s most wanted terrorist went for more than Rs 11 lakh.

A land plot in Lote village in Ratnagiri district remained unsold due to technical reasons and will be put for auction again, the official said.

An apartment belonging to Dawood’s close aide Iqbal Mirchi also remained unsold, he said. (AGENCIES)
