Dubai : D5 plate owner Indian businessman now buys 058-8888888 mobile number for AED 4.5 mn


Dubai, Feb 26 : Dubai-based businessman Balwinder Sahni, who made headlines last year for buying the famous D5 Dubai number plate for Dh33 million, has just forked out more than Dh4.5 million for an exclusive Du mobile number, reported UAE' English daily Khaleej Times.

But he says, no way he can use it for personal use because, within couple of hours of winning the number, he received over 1000 calls.

According to Khaleej Times report, Last year Sahni came under some fire online after several people took to social media and questioned why he would pay so much for a number plate, but with all the money going to charity from this latest auction, he said he will continue to give back to Dubai and it's community however he can.

"The Vice President Du, Mr Ahmed Aburahima called me and told me that all the money collected from this Auction will be going to charity as this is a semi-government company."

Balwinder Sahani forked out Dh4,520,000 to buy the du number 058-8888888 during an auction held on Saturday at Grand Hyatt Dubai Convention Centre.
