Mumbai, Aug 7 (NDTV): Hours before 1993 blasts convict Yakub Memon was hanged, his older brother Tiger Memon, the mastermind of the terror attack, called his family and threatened to avenge the death, say sources. The Mumbai police have officially denied it.
Sources have told NDTV that Tiger Memon made the call through VoIP or Voice on Internet Protocol and spoke to a family member, who told him that "they cannot take any more violence."
Two senior police officers have denied such a call.
Yakub Memon was hanged on July 30 for his role in the terror attack in Mumbai which 257 people were killed.
The main accused in the blasts, Tiger Memon and Dawood Ibrahim, remain missing. Yakub Memon's lawyers and activists said that he had cooperated wholly with investigators and did not deserve to die.
The families of those who were injured or killed in the terror attack strongly disagreed.
