As the Supreme Court was about to begin a middle-of-the-night hearing of Yakub Memon's final plea against his execution, a policeman delivered a letter to his brother Suleiman at a hotel in Nagpur. The contents of the letter are not known, but there is speculation that it was a formal intimation to Memon's family that he would be hanged at 7 am on Thursday. Or that it was a letter from Yakub Memon to his family.
