NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court (SC) today ordered the Centre to seize wanted terrorist and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s properties.
An SC bench headed by Justice R K Agrawal dismissed a plea filed by the underworld don’s family against the attachment of his properties in Mumbai.
Last November, 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 theHotel Raunaq Afroz, also known as Delhi Zaika, Shabnam Guest House and six rooms in Damarwala building.
It is claimed his syndicate, known as D-Company, once smuggled drugs through Pakistan and across Indian borders for shipment to Europe and North America from the ports at Mumbai, as portrayed in a new BBC series ‘McMafia’.
