Chhota Shakeel, one of the key conspirators of the 1993 Mumbai blasts case and chief aide of gangster Dawood Ibrahim has warned India of dire consequences for hanging Yakub Memon for a crime that he didn’t commit.
According to reports, Shakeel, who termed the execution of Memon as “legal murder” accused the Indian government on going back on its word that it would spare Memon’s life if he surrenders.
He said that Memon has been wrongly punished for his brother Tiger Memon’s act. According to Shakeel, Yakub was innocent and it was Tiger who masterminded the blasts on India’s financial capital.
Shakeel also said that it is now clear that Dawood Ibrahim would also have met the same fate had he returned to India in exchange of promises of leniency. He also denied that Yakub Memon had any links with Dawood.
He further added that nobody from D Company or anyone else will ever trust the Indian government in future again.
Yakub Memon, convicted for the Mumbai blasts case was hanged till death on Thursday after exhausting all legal options to escape the gallows.
