MUMBAI: Tightening the noose against fugitive gangster and Mumbai serial blasts mastermind Dawood Ibrahim, some properties belonging to him in his ancestral village in Ratnagiri district will be auctioned on November 10.

According to reports, seven land parcels in his ancestral village in Konkan will be auctioned by the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act (SAFEMA) authorities on November 10.
