Mumbai, Dec 10: An eatery once owned by dreaded underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in South Mumbai besides his green sedan and tenancy rights to a property in suburban Matunga which went under the hammer on Wednesday fetched over Rs 4.28 crore.
Other four properties owned by the don outside Maharashtra were also auctioned. However, details of these assets and their bidders are not known.
Journalist-turned-activist S Balakrishnan, who runs NGO ‘Desh Sewa Samiti’, plans to start a computer education centre for poor children on the premises of the property.
Hindu Mahasabha won the bid at Rs 3.32 lakh to purchase Dawood’s Hyundai Accent, which was priced at measly Rs 15,700.
This green sedan has been parked at a government society in Ghatkopar for the past four years and is in bad shape with burst tyres and shattered windshield.
Besides Balakrishnan, a Delhi-based lawyer Ajay Shrivastava and president of Hindu Mahasabha Swami Chakrapani were among the bidders for the assets on block.
