At least 6 properties belonging to absconding mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri were auctioned for nearly Rs 23 lakh under the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act (SAFEMA), an official said on Tuesday.
The successful bidders include lawyer Ajay Shrivastava who bought two properties and Supreme Court advocate Bhupendra Bhardwaj who picked up four assets in the scheduled online, offline and sealed tender auction held here.
The smooth auction held on Tuesday indicated that the Pakistan-based fugitive don is no longer a much-dreaded criminal here.
A majority of the properties are small constructions – some in a bad shape – on plots of land, situated in Mumbake village in Khed sub-district of Ratnagiri, from where the Kaskar family hailed.
