Hyderabad Commissioner of Police M. Mahendar Reddy on Wednesday said that the city police are taking all precautions following reports of likely trouble on July 30 when Yakoob Memon, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blast case is to be hanged.

“So far we have not received any official communication from the intelligence agencies about any specific threat to the city. However, as some news channels have aired about an alert being sounded, we are taking all necessary precautions to ensure safety of the citizens,” Mr. Reddy said.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the curative petition filed by Yakub Abdul Razak Memon. In April 2015, the Supreme Court had dismissed Yakub Memon's plea seeking a review of his death penalty. A TADA court in Mumbai had issued a death warrant against Yakub Memon early this month.
