Just one-and-half hours before Yakub's hanging, his brother Tiger Memon rang up the Memon's family and spoke about taking revenge for his brother's death. The phone call was intercepted by Mumbai Police and the central agencies were informed. Security agencies in Mumbai and Delhi have confirmed that Tiger called the Memon's family. Meanwhile, a judge - Justice Deepak Misra- who rejected Yakub's plea leading to his execution has received a death threat.
