| Yakub Memon, the younger brother of 1993 Mumbai blast mastermind Tiger Memon, has been sentenced to death.
The TADA court in Mumbai sentenced Yakub, a chartered accountant, to death for conspiracy and arranging finance for the serial blasts.
There was high drama inside the TADA court as the sentence was being announced. Yakub Memon screamed out against the sentence and pushed policemen around inside the court.
''I forgive the judge. Now I know I will never get justice,'' said Yakub Memon.
Three other relatives of Memon, brothers Yusuf and Essa and sister-in-law Rubina have been sentenced to life imprisonment for conspiracy and storing arms.
Judge Kode observed that Essa and Yusuf were given life sentences because they are very unwell and that the prosecution did not ask for a death sentence for Rubina because she's a woman.
The sentencing of actor Sanjay Dutt will take place on July 31.
