Shahida, the wife of fake stamp-paper scam mastermind Abdul Karim Telgi, has approached a court here, urging that his benami properties be seized and used for the country's benefit "as per his last wish". Telgi, convicted in the multi-crore scam, died at a hospital in Bengaluru on October 26 after a prolonged illness. His wife claimed in the application that Telgi's last wish was that all his properties, bought from the money he earned from the scam, be used by the government.
