Sources have told NDTV that Tiger Memon, who is believed to be in Pakistan, made the call in the early hours of July 30 through VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol and spoke to an elderly family member, who reportedly told him that “they cannot take any more violence and it should stop.”
Tiger Memon’s call to the Memon household allegedly lasted a few minutes.
Reports suggest that the call was intercepted by the police and security agencies. Two senior police officers, however, refused to confirm any such call.
Yakub Memon was hanged on July 30 for his role in the terror attack in Mumbai which 257 people were killed. The accountant was held guilty of financing the attack.
Yakub’s body was buried near his home in Mahim, Mumbai.
Tiger Memon and Dawood Ibrahim, who are the main accused, remain missing.
Yakub Memon’s family had claimed that he had surrendered and his death penalty should have been commuted. His lawyers and activists also said that he had cooperated with investigators and did not deserve to die. The families of those who were injured or killed in the terror attack strongly disagreed.
Mumbai was placed under heavy security on the day of Yakub Memon’s hanging with city Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria even visiting Mahim. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval had also spent the day in the city.
