The Tiger Memon arrested in Karachi on Wednesday isn’t the Mumbai serial blasts mastermind, but happens to be a person who goes by the name Fukran.
Wanted in several cases, the Pakistani resident has been accused of harassing girls and threatening others in the name of Memon.
Earlier today, a TV channel flashed the news that Memon has been held during raids in Pakistan, sending media channels into a tizzy but it turned out to be a false alarm.
One of India’s most wanted men and the main conspirator behind the 1993 Mumbai blasts, Memon had fled to Dubai just after the devastating incident.
