Abstract

The current frenzy over the seizing of Saif Ali Khan’s Bhopal properties worth Rs 15,000 crore is due to these properties being deemed ‘enemy properties’. The ruler of the princely state of Bhopal, Nawab Hamidullah Khan, had three daughters; the eldest, Abida Sultan, migrated to Pakistan in 1950. His second daughter, Sajida Sultan, married in India, and Saif Ali Khan is her grandson and legal heir to a share of properties in Bhopal worth Rs 15,000 crore. The properties in question are Flag Staff House, Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, Dar-Us-Salam, Bungalow of Habibi, Ahmedabad Palace and Kohefiza property.
