Mumbai Police have denied that Tiger Memon called his mother on July 30 vowing to  avenge the hanging of his brother Yakub.

India Today quoted Dhananjay Kulkarni, DCP, Crime Branch, saying the police had not intercepted any conversation involving Tiger Memon. Yakub's father-in-law Iqbal Memon also went to record to deny that any such conversation had taken place.

The Economic Times had reported on Friday that the Mumbai police recorded a conversation between Tiger Memon and his mother Hanifa at 5.35 am on 30th July, just one and a half hours before Yakub Memon was hanged.

According to The Economic Times, Tiger Memon told their distraught mother, who was reluctant to even talk to him, "Main unko chukwaonga" (I will make them pay.)

Hanifa reportedly implored him to stop the violence which had cost her a son, and said she did not want to see  others dying.

The Economic Times spoke to senior officials from the home ministry and police department, who said they had no knowledge of the conversation.

Yakub Memon, despite being involved with Mumbai bomb blasts, was not on the same page as his elder brother Tiger Memon. As both the brothers developed differences, Yakub Memon came back to India to face a long trial, which culminated in his execution.
