A car belonging to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, which was auctioned recently in Mumbai, was on Wednesday set afire by activists of the Hindu Mahasabha in Indirapuram in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh.
The burning of the car was a symbolic targetting of terrorism, said Swami Chakrapani, the national president of All India Hindu Mahasabha who bought the green Hyundai Accent car in the auction on December 9.
Dawood is wanted in India for the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai that killed 257 people and injured nearly a 1,000 others.
