As the clock ticked away, Suleiman Memon, elder brother of Yakub Memon and latter's cousin, Usman, spent restless night in their hotel room. Lodged at Hotel Dwarka in busy Sitabuldi locality, both brothers provided solace to one another, providing. Both were glued to TV, as they held on to glimmer of hope that Yakub's hanging slated for early Thursday morning would get postponed.

car on Thursday morning.

Outside a pose of policemen and horde of newspersons, photographers, cameramen, too stayed awake wanting to have comment from either of Memon's brothers. Early morning when Usman came down for a chore, he was flocked by waiting newspersons, particularly aggressive channel reporters who thrust mike and tired to get his say on the matter. A panicked Usman quickly retraced his steps and went back and holed-up in his room.

The two brothers were also in constant touch with Delhi based lawyers, as latter kept them abreast of fast paced developments. The two surfed through news channel trying to get latest news on the developments in Supreme Court, which was opened past midnight to hear Yakub's lawyers.

At around 2 am, a constable arrived at the hotel and handed over a sealed packet from Nagpur Central Jail authorities. The packet had a letter from Jail Superintendent informing details of hanging of Yakub slated for later in the morning. 

The brothers finally lost hope around 5 am on Thursday when TV channels started flashing the news of the dismissal of last ditch attempt of Yakub's lawyers to get 14-day reprieve for the Bombay blasts convict. Emotions got better of the two brothers and their eyes swelled-up, said Hotel sources. Sources also informed that the brothers were also asked by jail authorities to reach at Central Prison by 8.30 am. “There was a communication between jail authority and Memon brothers,” said a police official in know of the things. 

The brothers left Hotel Dwarka at around 8.15 am and impatient media jostled to click pictures and one possible comment form either one of them. Officers of Sitabuldi Police managed to clear the path for Memon brothers who later travelleed in a Maruti Versa car. The car directly drove to Central Jail where jail authorities handed over the body to the brothers after completing legal formalities.

The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator.
