Yakub Memon was a chartered accountant and one of the masterminds behind the 1993 Mumbai bombings. He was responsible for the financial logistics of the attack, which killed 257 people and injured over 700. He was eventually arrested and charged with conspiracy and terrorism-related offenses. During the trial, it was revealed that Yakub's wife, Raheen Memon, was also involved in the planning of the bombings. Raheen was a trained pharmacist, and she had helped Yakub in the procurement of materials for making the bombs. She was also responsible for arranging for the safe houses where the terrorists could stay while they planned the attack. After Yakub's arrest, Raheen and her children went into hiding, and she eventually fled to Karachi, Pakistan, where she sought asylum. The Indian authorities tried to extradite her, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Yakub was eventually found guilty and sentenced to death. Despite appeals from his family and human rights groups, he was executed in 2015. Raheen and her children continue to live in Pakistan, and she has maintained that her husband was innocent and that the trial was unfair. The 1993 Mumbai bombings were one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Indian history. They were carried out by a group of militants who were seeking revenge for the demolition of the Babri Masjid, a mosque in Ayodhya. The attack was planned and coordinated by members of the Dawood Ibrahim gang, a notorious criminal organization that has been implicated in numerous terrorist attacks in India.
