Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today criticised Human Rights groups and activists who tried to save Yakub Memon, a convict in the 1993 serial Mumbai blasts. Memon was hanged on July 30 after a marathon and unprecedented all-night hearing at Supreme Court the night before.

A death threat has been made in writing to one of the three judges who refused to stop the hanging of 1993 blasts convict Yakub Memon. The Delhi Police has registered a case and are investigating an anonymous letter sent to Justice Dipak Misra.

As Yakub Memon was hanged today in a Nagpur jail, security has been added for the three judges who rejected his last-minute appeal in an unprecedented hearing that took place in the Supreme Court in the middle of the night.

Yakub Memon was hanged a little before 7 am on Thursday morning in a Nagpur prison, less than two hours after the Supreme Court dismissed his final appeal against his hanging in an unprecedented hearing that was held within the court premises in the middle of the night.

After being up most of the night for a historic Supreme Court hearing to decide on Yakub Memon's petition to stop his hanging, Justice Dipak Misra was back at work sharp at 10.30 on Thursday morning.

Yakub Memon will hang today at about 7 am for his role in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, ruled the Supreme Court at 5 am. For the first time ever, a hearing was held in the top court's premises in the middle of the night. Nagpur jail officials are now prepping for the execution of Memon, who turns 53 today.

As the Supreme Court was about to begin a middle-of-the-night hearing of Yakub Memon's final plea against his execution, a police constable delivered a letter to his brother Suleiman at a hotel in Nagpur in Maharashtra.

In a first, the Supreme Court was opened for judges to hear at 3 am, the final plea against the execution of Yakub Memon for his role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.
