A leading newspaper reports that 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Mushtaq 'Tiger' Memon rang up his family in Mumbai on July 30, the day when his brother Yakub Memon was hanged for his involvement in the blast.

Twenty-two years since he fled after masterminding one of the worst terror strikes India has seen, Mumbai Police have once again heard his voice.

Tiger Memon, one of India's most wanted, rang up the Memon household on the family landline number just few hours before his younger brother Yakub was to be hanged.

A Mumbai Police wing monitoring the number recorded the conversation between the fugitive and his mother in the early hours of July 30.
