Mumbai – The central government is gearing up to auction several properties belonging to 1993 Mumbai serial blasts accused Tiger Memon and his family, including a flat where one of the key conspiracy meetings allegedly took place.
According to officials, the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act (SAFEMA) Authority has received information on 17 properties linked to Tiger Memon and his relatives from the special TADA court in Mumbai. Out of these, eight properties have already been seized, while the rest are either under litigation or in the process of being taken over.
Properties Under SAFEMA Possession
The seized assets include three flats in the Al Husseini building in Mahim—once home to Tiger Memon, his mother, and five brothers. Notably, this was the location where one of the conspiracy meetings for the 1993 blasts reportedly took place.
Tiger Memon has been absconding since March 12, 1993, when a series of 12 coordinated bomb blasts rocked Mumbai, killing at least 257 people. His brother Yakub Memon was convicted and executed in 2015, while other family members received varying prison terms from the TADA court.
High-Value Assets Awaiting Seizure
Among the properties yet to be taken over is a 10,000 sq. m. land parcel in Kole Kalyan, Vakola, estimated to be worth around ₹400 crore. The plot is currently encroached upon and bordered by two existing buildings.
Authorities are also in the process of taking possession of:
- A prime property in Zaveri Bazar, South Mumbai
- A flat in Bandra
- Two flats in Kapadia Nagar, Kurla
- Four commercial shops in Manish Market, jointly owned by Tiger Memon and Mohammad Dosa (under legal appeal)
Auction Timeline
A senior official confirmed that valuation of the seized properties is currently underway. Once legal procedures are completed, the auction is expected to commence between December 2025 and January 2026.
The Al Husseini flats, sealed for over three decades after the blasts, were reopened earlier this year as part of the renewed forfeiture proceedings.
These auctions are part of the government’s larger effort to recover and liquidate assets of individuals involved in terrorism and illegal financial activities, ensuring that such properties do not remain under disputed or unlawful ownership.
