Seize Dawood Ibrahim’s Mumbai properties: Supreme Court directs Centre
Dawood Ibrahim
The prime properties in Mumbai's Nagpada belonged to Dawood but his mother and sister, both dead, had taken possession of them.
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Central government to seize the properties of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Mumbai.
The apex court bench, headed by Justice R K Agrawal, rejected the petition filed by Ibrahim’s family against the attachment of the underworld don’s properties in the Maharashtra capital.
In November 2017, three south Mumbai properties belonging to the fugitive don were auctioned for Rs 11.58 crore. The properties were put on auction by the ministry of finance, under the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act. The three properties were the Hotel Raunaq Afroz, also known as Delhi Zaika, Shabnam Guest House and six rooms in Damarwala building.
Dawood Ibrahim is the mastermind of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. He is listed as a global terrorist by the UN Security Council's IS and al-Qaida Sanctions Committee.
India's assertion that he has been sheltered by Pakistan was confirmed recently when the latest list of terror organisations and terrorists released by the UN Security Council included Dawood Ibrahim and his Karachi address.
