SC upholds death penalty for Yakub Memon for role in '93 Mumbai blasts
The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the review plea of Yakub Abdul Razak Memon against a death penalty in connection with his role in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.
The court had earlier stayed Memon's execution on June 2, 2014.
Memon, who is a key conspirator with Dawood Ibrahim in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, is one of ten accused who were awarded the death penalty by a special TADA court.
Memon's death sentence was earlier upheld by a Supreme Court bench on March 21, 2013.
