Dawood's car, sold at auction, to be burnt tomorrow

December 22, 2015 20:53

Swami Chakrapani, the right-wing Hindu leader who successfully bid for a car belonging to fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim at an auction here earlier this month, today said it would be burnt publicly in Ghaziabad near Delhi tomorrow.

Speaking to PTI over telephone from Delhi, Chakrapani said, "Our organisation has decided to burn the car publicly at Indrapuram in Ghaziabad between 1 pm to 2 pm.

Burning the car would be symbolic of conducting the last rites of the terrorism that Dawood and his henchmen spread in the country, especially in Mumbai," added Chakrapani, who claims to be the national president of 'All India Hindu Mahasabha' and is one of the petitioners in the Ram Janmabhoomi case.

At an auction of Dawood's properties held in Mumbai on December 9, Chakrapai bid successfully for the green Hyundai Accent car for a mere Rs 32,000.
