Dawood’s 4 Ancestral Properties To Be Auctioned Today At Just Rs.19 Lakh; Hindu Mahasabha Chief Swami Chakrapani Set To Place Bid

Hindu Mahasabha president Swami Chakrapani will bid for the four ancestral properties of fugitive global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar at Mumbai and Lotte village of Khed taluka, Ratnagiri, in an auction to be held on Friday in Mumbai and has announced plans to build a grand temple dedicated to Lord of justice Chitragupta.
The auction of Dawood’s childhood home and three other agricultural plots were seized by authorities under the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act (SAFEMA).
Chakrapani’s claims
Chakrapani claimed that he will personally participate in the auction to acquire the fugitive terrorist properties to make India’s largest Chitragupta temple along with Lord Shiva and Ram-Sita temples. “The purpose of establishing Lord Chitragupta is to create awareness of justice for our crimes and misdeeds.
Lord Chitragupta keeps records of all actions and deeds to give appropriate rewards and punishment. Dawood Ibrahim betrayed India, killed innocent people and plotted bomb blasts. He will be punished for his crime by Lord Chitragupta,” claimed Swami Chakrapani.
The properties include a bungalow, mango orchards and agricultural plots registered in the name of Dawood’s mother Amina Bi with a total valuation of Rs19 lakh. A key accused in the 1993 Bombay serial blasts that killed 257, Dawood had lived in the Mumbake village before moving to Mumbai in 1983 where his father was a police constable posted in Mumbai Police crime branch.
Auction of Dawood’s properties
The Free Press Journal had exclusively reported about the auction of the four Kaskar properties (edition dated December 23). The public notice for auction of the properties was issued on 21 November 2023 with a reserve price of Rs9.5 lakh for agricultural plot while another farm land was for Rs8 lakh, both located at Mumbke village of Khed taluka. Another property including a bungalow with mango orchard is in the adjacent Lotte village.
The government had in the past identified and auctioned several properties of the Dawood Ibrahim family including a restaurant sold for Rs4.53 crore; six flats sold for Rs3.53 crore and a guest house that fetched Rs3.52 crore.
Earlier in December 2020, Dawood’s assets in Ratnagiri were auctioned for Rs 1.10 crore which included two plots and a defunct petrol pump. The properties in Lotte village of Khed taluka were registered in the name of Dawood’s sister late Haseena Parkar.
A 600sqfeet flat in Nagpada was auctioned in April 2019 for Rs1.80 crore and prior to that, in 2018, SAFEMA officials had auctioned Dawood’s property at Pakmodia Street with reserve price of Rs79.43 lakh which was bought by the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT) for Rs3.51 crore.

Muslim representative delegation met police commissioner Deven Bharti on Mumbai loudspeaker, stop action till Eid-ul-Adha: Azmi

Mumbai: Muslim representatives met Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and lodged an objection against the removal of loudspeakers from mosques, saying that only mosques are being targeted, which is completely wrong, while the principle of noise pollution is equally applicable to all, but only on the complaint of BJP leader Kirit Somaiya there is a risk of deteriorating the environment by removing loudspeakers from mosques, and a demand was also made to stop police action to maintain law and order.
Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and Assembly member Abu Asim Azmi told the media after meeting the Police Commissioner on the loudspeaker issue that Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti said that no action will be taken against loudspeakers till Eid-ul-Azha, while Azmi drew the attention of the Police Commissioner on this issue that unilateral action is being taken only against mosques. The police take action after the complaint of Kirit Somaiya and then the action starts. He said that the issue of removing loudspeakers from mosques is threatening peace in Mumbai. Azmi said that the way Kirit Somaiya and Nitish Rane are demonstrating provocations has spoiled the atmosphere of Mumbai city.
The police should also take action against them to maintain law and order. Police Commissioner Deven Bharti has assured the delegation that he will take necessary steps on this issue and action will be taken as per the law. Abu Asim Azmi, while expressing concern over mischief on Eid-ul-Azha, told the Police Commissioner that the way some miscreants are constantly trying to create conflict in societies by offering sacrifices. On Nitish Rane’s venom regarding sacrifice in societies, Azmi said that sacrifice is offered in societies and it is done legally, there is no problem in it, but some people are presenting sacrifice as an issue to spoil the environment. He said that even in Hinduism, cats are offered, then no one objects. On Nitish Rane’s demand for virtual sacrifice, he said that Islam will follow Sharia and Muslims offer sacrifices only according to Sharia and the law has allowed us to do so.
Samajwadi Party leader Yousuf Abrahani, Advocate Amin Solkar, Khateeb and Imam of Hari Masjid Maulana Zubair Ahmed Barkati were also present in this representative delegation. Yousuf Abrahani said that legal action is being taken on the loudspeaker issue and the court is also being approached, while all the conditions imposed on the loudspeaker issue are illegal, while the Supreme Court had ordered decibel control and decibels have been fixed, accordingly, loudspeakers are used in mosques, but the police are taking action under pressure from the Kirit Somaiya and the police do not have the authority to remove loudspeakers from mosques, but despite this, this process is continuing, while the Mumbai Police Commissioner has also assured of necessary action on this issue.
