After a strenuous night with unprecedented legal developments, the Supreme Court seems to have showed no favour to Yakub Memon's appeal against death sentence. He is hanged to death at 7.35 am on 30th July, which is unfortunately his 53rd birth anniversary.
Memon was declared dead at 7.01 am.
Yakub Memon, the chartered accountant by profession was one of major convict of the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in 1993.Theprime convicts, Tiger Memon, Yakub's brother and Dawood Ibrahim are still beyond the reach of Interpol. Yakoob was allegedly suspected to have financed the entire project that is carried out in Mumbai, just 3 months after the destruction of Babri Masjid. The blast
The 1993 serial bomb blasts, carried out three months after the destruction of the Babri Masjid in December, 1992. The Mumbai serial blasts reportedly have claimed the lives of 257 people while creating an international terror by its very atrocity.
On the wake of 30th July, 2015, security across Maharashtra has been strengthened even more, so that it becomes easier to counter any violent outburst in the capital city. Special security force has been appointed around the Nagpur jail to deal with any counter attack during the execution.
After the doctor declared him death at 7.01 am, his body is handed over to the family with the three conditions that no public procession will be conducted or encouraged, funeral in a timely manner will be treated with priority, no public release of the photograph will be allowed on anyone's part.

The Week-Long Legal Battle Did Not Favour To Dismiss The Death Penalty
Though a pre- dawn session of the Supreme Court was organized with a team of Justices Dipak Misra, Prafulla Chandra Pant and Amitava Roy in order to re-evaluate the last plea for a 14-day stay on his execution, the team rejected the plea at 5.00 am.
"Stay of death warrant would be a travesty of justice," said Justice Dipak Misra. However for Attorney General, Mukul Rohtagi , the decision of not extending the time of the death sentence is not simply about "victory". Instead it's a decision to put an end to the legal process that has been going for years now. Regarding the execution, Memon's lawyer has said "The Supreme Court has made a tragic mistake. I hope Yakub Memon has a dignified death."
Even after exhausting all the legal remedies, the mercy petition of Yakub Memon seems to bring no effect during 5 am today. The judges panel has said Memon has got enough time to deal with the legal proceedings and resolve the personal affair on the family front. From government to the apex court, nowhere the mercy petition has received a favorable climate.
The decision creates polarization
However, the verdict seems to have created polarised opinion after it has become apparently clear that Memon has co-operated with Indian intelligence agencies and chose to stay under the protection of the Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan's intelligence agency.
Later, the official of Indian intelligence B. Raman has published a report confirming Yakub's cooperation with police. In fact, it's been reported that Yakub Memon's s during his tenure in the jail custody has brought evidence which helped India prove Pakistan's involvement in the event.
However, the verdict of the Supreme Court has faced a varied political reactions for and against the death penalty.
