Tiger Memon Properties to Be Auctioned: SAFEMA Moves Ahead After 1993 Mumbai Blasts

This special report focuses on the auction of properties belonging to Tiger Memon, the fugitive mastermind behind the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts. The authority, SAFEMA, is set to auction eight seized properties, including three flats in Mahim's Al-Husseini building, which were used for plotting the terror attack that killed 257 people. According to an official, 'Tiger Memon, absconding since the blasts of March 12, 1993, which killed at least 257 persons at 12 locations in Mumbai, is believed to be in Pakistan'. The auction marks a significant, albeit delayed, step in bringing the assets of one of India's most-wanted terrorists to justice. The properties were seized decades ago, and after a lengthy legal process, their valuation is now complete, paving the way for the auction to begin as early as December.
