Tiger Memon's Properties Slated for Auction in 1993 Mumbai Blasts Case
A man named Tiger Memon is accused of being a big part of a terrible event that happened in Mumbai a long time ago.
He ran away and hasn't been caught.
The government found many houses and shops that belonged to him and his family.
They have taken over some of these places, like a building where his family used to live.
Some of these properties were also used to plan the bad things that happened.
Now, the government is getting ready to sell these properties, like a big sale.
This is happening because the properties were taken in a way that broke the law.
The government has also done this with properties of other people involved in bad activities before.
Properties belonging to 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Tiger Memon and 11 family members are set for auction.
Seventeen properties were confiscated, with eight now in government possession and five more in process.
A special court ordered the handover of 14 properties to the Central Government for auction.
The properties include residences and shops in various Mumbai locations, such as the Al Husseini building in Mahim.
Legal proceedings and property valuation are underway, with auctions expected in the coming months.
