A man threatening people in the name of Tiger Memon was arrested in Karachi in Pakistan when the authorities conducted raids on Wednesday. The man, identified as Fukran was wanted for many cases in the country.
However, initial reports led to a lot of speculation whether Tiger Memon was actually arrested.
Furkan had created a Facebook account called Memon Tiger through which he was harassing and threatening girls.
Memon who is the alleged mastermind in the 1993 Mumbai blasts is wanted by the CBI and the Interpol. He flew to Dubai and has been in hiding since then.
According to report published by an English daily, the main kingpin of the 1993 Bombay terror attack Tiger Memon called up his family in Mumbai on July 30, hours before his brother Yakub was hanged. Tiger had a heart to heart conversation with his mother.
According to the report, Tiger spoke of taking revenge for his brother Yakub's death. This raised alarm among security forces as a retaliatory action can't be ruled out
