Birthday cake for Memon hours before hanging

Nagpur, Jul 30 (IBNS) Hours before his hanging a birthday cake was sent to Yakub Memon inside Nagpur Centra Jail at midnight as the 1993 Mumbai blasts convict turned 53 on Thursday.

Memon, who perhaps was being torn between hopes and despair in the last few hours of his life as the Supreme Court opened at 3 am for an unprecedented hearing on his petition to stop execution, was finally hanged a little before 7 am.

Reports said Memon's family handed over the cake to the jail superintendent. They were hoping for a positive news as Memon's petition still remained pending with the apex court.

The Supreme Court at 5 am dismissed Memon's final petition to stop his execution on grounds of his last-minute mercy plea.
