Family members of some of the victims of 1993 Mumbai blasts on Wednesday demanded that Yakub Memon be hanged and submitted a mass petition to Chief Minister Devendra Fanavis in this regard.

"Yakub should be hanged," Tushar Deshmukh, who lost his mother in the blasts, said in a memorandum to Fadnavis at Vidhan Bhawan in Mumbai. "The families have suffered. We demand that the death sentence be carried out," Deshmukh said.
