Case overview
The 1993 Bombay bombings was a series of 12 terrorist bombings in Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra, on 12 March 1993. Two main suspects in the case, Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, have not been arrested or tried. [1]
On 21 March 2013, the Supreme Court of India, after 20 years of judicial proceedings, upheld the death sentence against suspected ringleader Yakub Memon while commuting the death sentences of 10 others to life imprisonment. In February 2007, prosecutors asked for the death penalty for 44 of the 100 convicted. Many of those convicted have eluded custody, including the mastermind of the attacks, Tiger Memon. [2]
