About Yakub Memon
Yakub Abdul Razzaq Memon was an Indian gangster apprehended over his financial involvements in the 1993 Bombay bombings, and the brother of one of the prime suspects in the bombings, Tiger Memon. After his appeals and petitions for clemency were all rejected, he was executed at Nagpur Central Jail on 30 July 2015.

Memon handled Tiger's funds, funded the training of 15 youths who were sent to a secret location to learn handling arms and ammunition, purchased the vehicles used in the bombings, and stockpiled weapons. In 1991, Memon founded the chartered accountancy firm 'Mehta & Memon Associates' with his childhood friend Chetan Mehta. Named after his father, it was successful, and Memon won the "Best Chartered Accountant of the Year" award from the Memon community of Mumbai. Memon was captured with a briefcase which contained a recording of a conversation he had in Karachi.
