Yakub Memon's body reaches Mumbai for burial
Reports said Memon's body was handed over to his family soon after the formalities were completed at the jail.
The burial is likely to take place at Marine Lines where his father is also buried.
Security has been beefed across Mumbai to avoid any untoward incident in the city.
The authorities have given conditions to Memon's family that the burial should be a low key affair and must be completed in a stipulated time.
The execution of Memon, a convict in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, was carried out shortly after a Supreme Court bench rejected a petition against his death.
Memon was the first and the only convict out of 100 in the case. The death sentences for 11 others have been commuted so far.
