In a controversial tweet, Bollywood actor Salman Khan has said that 1993 Bombay blasts convict Yakub Memon should not be hanged as the real culprit is the latter's brother Tiger Memon.
The actor took to twitter to express his views.
"Get tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother," Salwan tweeted.
"Brother is being hanged for tiger. Aarrre Whr is tiger?," he said in another tweet.
The actor also poked fun at Tiger Memon.
"Kidhar chupa hai tiger? Hey koi tiger nahi hai hai hai billi aur hum ek billi ko nahi pakad sakteh," he tweeted.
