In a major victory for Narendra Modi government, the United Kingdom (UK) government has seized properties belonging to underworld don and 1993 Mumbai serial blasts mastermind Dawood Ibrahim.

Dawood Ibrahim is the only 'Indian national' on an updated list of financial sanctions released by the UK in August this year.

The Birmingham Mail reported that Dawood owns a hotel in Warwickshire and other residential properties across the Midlands.

Dawood appeared on the UK Treasury department's 'Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets in the UK' updated, with three recorded addresses in Pakistan, where he is reportedly based.

He is recorded to have lived at: House No 37, 30th Street - Defence Housing Authority, Karachi, Pakistan; Noorabad, Karachi, Pakistan (Palatial bungalow in the hilly area); and White House, Near Saudi Mosque, Clifton, Karachi, Pakistan address on record until last year - House no.29, Margalla Road, F 6/2 Street no.22, Karachi, Pakistan -  is no longer part of the records.

Ibrahim is the main accused in the 1993 serial bomb blasts case in Mumbai in which around 260 people were killed, and more than 700 suffered injuries. He fled the country post the bombings and is understood to be hiding in Pakistan.

A fortnight ago, former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf hinted that fugitive underworld don is in Karachi.

"India has been accusing Pakistan for long. Why should we now become good and assist them? I don't know where Dawood is. He must be here, somewhere. India has been killing Muslims and Dawood Ibrahim has been reacting," said Musharraf in an interview with a Pakistani news channel, giving a clear indication that the wanted criminal might be putting up in Pakistan.
