In addition, he received a hit-and-run driving charge in 2002 and was accused of hunting endangered animal species. Most recently in 2015, tweets on Yakub Memon portrayed him in a rather negative light, as well as the negligent driving trial the same year.
The charges were withdrawn because of insufficient evidence after the death of a prime witness, Constable Ravindra Patil. Allegedly, the person was kidnapped and murdered, while many people believe there is a connection with organized crime.
