The day after 1993 blast accused Yakub Memon was hanged in Nagpur and buried in Mumbai on July 30, an approver in the case received a death threat from an unidentified man. The police are investigating who the caller was and have also given the approver protection.

Police said that the approver received a call on July 31 on his mobile phone. He was called twice by an unknown person late in the evening, in a period of 15 minutes. The approver told cops that the person during the first call said, “Tumne achcha nahi kiya, tumhe mein maar dunga” (You did a bad thing. I will kill you).
