Detailed inquiry ordered in matter of beautification of Yaqoob Memon's grave

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 8 : The Mumbai Police is directed to do a proper inquiry in the matter of the beautification of 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon's grave in the Bada Qabrastan of Mumbai, sources in DCM office said on Thursday.
As per sources in the DCM office, the police are also directed to submit a report.
DCM also has charge of the Home department.
After the lighting arrangements at Yakub Memon's grave were removed from Bada Qabrastan, Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Ram Kadam asked if this was former state Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's patriotism to convert the grave of a terrorist into a Mazar.
"The grave of terrorist Yakub Memon who executed the 1993 Bombay bombings at Pakistan's behest, was converted into a Mazar when Uddhav Thackeray was the CM. Is this his love for Mumbai, patriotism?," said BJP MLA Ram Kadam seeking Thackeray's apology in the matter.
"Sharad Pawar, Rahul Gandhi and he (Uddhav Thackeray) should apologise to the people of Mumbai," he said.
Memon was the lone convict in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, who was sent to the gallows.
On March 12, 1993, Mumbai (then Bombay) was rocked by a series of bomb blasts which killed 257 persons, injured more than 700 persons and destroyed property worth approximately Rs 27 crore. The case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on the request of the state government.
A number of accused persons have been convicted in the case including Mustafa Dossa and Abu Salem on June 16, 2017. The attacks were allegedly planned by wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim.
