Get Tiger and hang him, not his brother Yakub: Salman Khan

Manglore Today News Network

Mumbai: July 26, 2015: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan took to micro-blogging site Twitter to oppose the death penalty of 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon.

 

In a series of tweets, Salman Khan lashed out at Yakub’s absconding brother, Tiger Memon, one of the prime suspects in the 1993 blasts case.

Actor Salman said that it was unfair for Yakub to be hanged while his brother was one of the major suspects. Taking a jibe at Tiger, he said "Bhai ho toh aisa" (You should have a brother like Tiger).
Here are the tweets that the actor posted:

On April 29, the special court had passed an order that Yakub Memon be hanged on July 30 at 7am in Nagpur Central Jail. On July 21, he had filed a curative petition before the Supreme Court, which had also been dismissed. Subsequently, Yakub on July 22 submitted a fresh mercy petition before the governor.
