Security of three Supreme Court judges, who dismissed the petition to stay Yakub Memon’s death warrant leading to his execution on Thursday morning, has been beefed up as a precautionary measure.
“Security of Justices Dipak Misra, Prafulla Chandra Pant and Amitava Roy has been increased,” a Home Ministry official said. The number of police personnel at their homes has been increased besides increase in police patrolling in their vicinity.
