Yakub Memon

After sharing a lot of stories of Famous Chartered Accountants , Today we talk about a Chartered Accountant who is actually shame for our Profession, Yes you are thinking Right Yakub Memon who was involved in 1993 Mumbai Bomb Blast is a Chartered Accountant by profession and yes a big mark on our CA Profession. He will be convicted to death on 30th July 2015.

His full name is Yakub Abdul Razak Memon and was born on 30 July 1962. He is the brother of one of the prime suspects in the bombings, Tiger Memon. It feels bad to hear that a chartered Accountant could become a terrorist.
.

Yakub who is facing the gallows is a chartered accountant. Such an educated man becoming a terrorist was unheard of in the early 1990s.

Twenty years after the most horrific terror attack, in 2013 the Supreme Court sentenced Yakub Memon to death for his role in the blasts.

He is the most educated member of the Memon family. He was arrested at Kathmandu airport while trying to flee India.

ROLE OF YAKUB MEMON IN 1993 MUMBAI BOMB BLAST

According to Indian authorities, Memon financially assisted his brother Tiger Memon and Dawood Ibrahim in planning and executing the bombings

As we all know Chartered Accountants are specialist in Sourcing of funds, But yakub memon did it for wrong purpose. He arranges the finance for the bomb blast on the instructions of Dawood Ibrahim who is still out of the reach of indian Government. Yakub did all these for money.. But he forgets to think about his mother Land India. Memon allegedly handled Tiger's funds and also funded the training of 15 youths who were sent to Pakistan to learn the art of handling arms and ammunition.

We CA GROUPS seriously feel disappointed that a person who is part our profession in the past ( Of Course his name is now deleted from Members record ) did this act.

Yakub Memon is portrayed by actor Imtiaz Ali in Anurag Kashyap’s controversial film on the 1993 bomb blasts ‘Black Friday’. A part of the real footage of his interview given to Video news of the 1990s ‘Newstrack’ in which he tells that the conspiracy was hatched by ‘Tiger’ Memon and his mafia associates was also included in ‘Black Friday’.
