In a series of tweets, the Bollywood actor spoke openly against Tiger Memon and urged the government to hang him instead of his brother, Yakub Memon, the only person to be condemned to death for the Mumbai bombings.
“Get tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother,” he wrote.

Salman said he had been wanting to tweet on the issue for three days but had been “afraid to do so” because it involved a man and his family.
Yakub Memon is due to be hanged on July 30. The blasts in March 1993 ripped through Mumbai, then known as Bombay, killing at least 257 people at separate landmarks, including the Bombay Stock Exchange, a popular cinema and two crowded markets.
Soon after his tweets, Salman Khan’s father lashed out at him and said his tweets should not be taken ‘seriously.’
“Whatever Salman has written is ridiculous and meaningless. Salman is ignorant of the issue and people should not take him seriously,” Salim Khan said, according to IBN Live.
Salim also spoke out against capital punishment for Yakub Memon, saying, “Yakub should be kept in jail rather be hanged. Keeping him alive is a bigger punishment.”
Indian Police consider Memon’s brother “Tiger” Memon and Dawood Ibrahim to be the main masterminds behind the attack, carried out to avenge the destruction of an ancient mosque by Hindu zealots in 1992.
Others originally charged in relation to the attack had their sentences reduced to life imprisonment in 2013. But Memon was found by the court to be the “driving spirit” behind the attacks, and his 2007 death sentence was upheld.
While Tiger Memon has been in hiding since 1993, Yakub Memon decided to return to India in 1994, protesting his innocence. He was detained shortly afterwards in circumstances that remain unclear: he has said he turned himself in, but police claimed an arrest.
