India Hangs 1993 Mumbai Bomb Plotter Yakub Memon

Yakub Memon, convicted for the 1993 terrorist attacks in India’s western metropolis Mumbai that killed more than 250 people, was hanged early Thursday morning.

Memon was executed on his 53rd birthday at a prison near Nagpur, about 14 hours from Mumbai, following the rejection of a last-ditch mercy plea from his lawyers for a 14-day stay on his execution so he could prepare for death and say goodbye to his family.

The plea, which was heard by a bench of three Supreme Court judges at around 3 a.m., was rejected on the grounds that suspending his death warrant even temporarily would be a “travesty of justice.”

Memon had two petitions for clemency rejected earlier on Wednesday by the governor of the state of Maharashtra (of which Mumbai is the capital) and the President of India respectively, Reuters reported. The judges ruled that he was not entitled to the two-week buffer between the rejection of a mercy plea and an execution, mandated by Indian law, because he had received ample opportunities to challenge the case.

Terrorists should be hang

Hanging of kasab and yakub memon simply shows that india lacks a long term strategic thinking. They were living examples of pak sponsored terror. India could used them to put pressure on pakistan in international arena.
Wonder what the stupid govt achieved by hanging them ? Neither the dead are going to come back nor pakistan will stop sponsoring terrorism.

Modi govt is simply losing the plot, too much brainless jingoism on display.

Since when GOI has taken the laws into his hand? Is it for the courts to decide?

And what pressure you will exert and what information you might extract more when he was allowed to live for 25 years after the crime???

So he get a death sentence after 22 years? What,s wrong with the Indian justice system?
Learn something from us a week ago lej commander ishak malik killed some shias and just after keeping him in custody for 3 days we sent that scum of the earth to hell along with his sons.
If the indian courts are not giving you justice then do a fucking fake encounter.

He was killed in an ambush.

Possibly staged by forces. This is not how the Indian Judicial system works

Ishaq was in Pakistani jail for a decade until he was released in 2011 and then he was arrested again on in 2013 to be released again.

I am not talking about crime and punishment here. We should be looking to how to utilize him as trump card in war against terror emanating from pakistan. As you have seen pakistan quiet conveniently rubbishes the evidence given by us for mumbai attacks and with impunity declares dawood is not in pakistan. In the international arena we could have shamed pakistan left , right and center. We should have the western media agencies interview them build pressure on the enemy.

Imagine pakistan prime minister raising kashmir issue in UN and kasab giving evidence about pakistans involvement in mumbai attacks remotely to UN audience.

Life sentence is a bigger punishment than death and the person goes through more suffering. By hanging we have just relieved him and ended his monotonous suffering life. If we put them under solitary confinement without any human interaction the person will go mad in few years.

do you have any idea howmany death convicts are living in Pakistan Jail???? Check up with some senior members here, probably you will get the reality...... I am not saying it is wrong...... Every death sentence should be given enough time and opportunity to get his plea to ensure that no innocent is hanged..... By the way I agree 23 years is too long, he should have been hanged long back....

Hi
what were his last words?-

 

[HariPrasad]

RIP

He repented a lot for what he did but his crime was too heinous to be pardoned.

So yes i do agree that was staged and that was the only option because that scum bag was fooling pakistani court system for too long.

Ishaq was in Pakistani jail for a decade until he was released in 2011 and then he was arrested again on in 2013 to be released again.

Does not matter last time we made an example and delivered a swift justice.

I agree still we got problems but from the past one year too much is changed and there is no mercy for terrorists in Pakistan that,s why you can see things are getting better here.No i dont agree with you terrorists should not be given any time for plea etc.See that scum bag killed hundreds of innocents and lived for another 22 years on your tax money,you call that a justice?He lived almost all of his life ,he should be hanged in his early thirties.

RIP
