The price for the four properties is kept at Rs 19.2 lakh with the smallest plot being kept at a reserve price of Rs 15,440.
Earlier in 2017 and 2020, over 17 properties belonging to Dawood Ibrahim were auctioned by SAFEMA.
These properties had been attached by the SAFEMA competent authority for cases related to smuggling and NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act cases against Dawood Ibrahim and his family members.
“Four properties belonging to Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar’s mother, Amina Bi, are being auctioned on Friday, January 5. These properties take the form of agricultural land in Dawood Ibrahim’s ancestral village, named Mumbake, at Khed in the Ratnagiri District of Maharashtra,” a statement from SAFEMA stated.
“Several bids have been received, and the bidding process is scheduled to take place between 2:00 pm and 3:30 pm on January 5,” it added.
In previous auctions, SAFEMA had successfully auctioned Dawood’s properties, including Hotel Raunak Afroz, Shabnam Guest House, and six rooms in the Damarwala building near Bhendi Bazaar in 2017, fetching Rs 11 crore.
In 2020, SAFEMA auctioned six more of Dawood’s properties, realising a total of Rs 22.79 lakh.
Earlier reports indicated that Dawood Ibrahim, a notorious underworld figure, was unwell and hospitalised, reportedly in a critical condition. While the news remains unverified, some former associates of his gang residing in Mumbai claimed that Dawood was suffering from hypertension, diabetes, and other illnesses.
