Nagpur : Death row convict Yakub Abdul Razak Memon, a key conspirator with Dawood Ibrahim in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case whose execution was stayed by the Supreme Court last week, is appearing for MA (Political Science) examination in the central jail here.
Memon, a chartered accountant, is appearing for second year exams.
“He wrote his first paper on June 3 and another paper yesterday from his ‘Fasi Yard’ (high security ward where prisoners awaiting capital punishment are lodged) in the Nagpur Central Jail. Being a high-profile prisoner, he is not allowed to go out,” Indira Gandhi National Open University’s (IGNOU) regional director P Sivaswaroop told PTI here.
His examinations would conclude on June 28, he said.
