Black Friday

On March 9, 1993, low-level thug Gul Mohammed finds himself incarcerated at the Nav Pada police station. There, he faces brutal treatment and decides to confess to a conspiracy aimed at bombings across Mumbai.

In a desperate attempt to escape his dire situation, Gul reveals that Tiger Menon is plotting to bomb significant locations in Mumbai, including the stock market and government offices. However, the police dismiss his alarming claims, underestimating the threat.

On March 12, 1993, the city of Bombay is rocked by a series of devastating explosions. The bombings result in over 300 fatalities and around 1,600 injuries, plunging the city into chaos and tragedy.

Following the bombings, inspectors Sawant and Nandakumar Chaugule embark on a complex investigation to uncover the truth behind the attacks. They discover RDX explosives brought into the city and a van filled with weapons linked to the conspiracy.

During the investigation, police find a passport belonging to Rubina Memon, which strengthens the connection to underworld figure Tiger Menon. This pivotal discovery leads them further into the labyrinth of terror ties.

While hiding in Dubai, Tiger Memon recognizes his role in orchestrating the bombings. With authorities now aware of his transactions, his position grows increasingly precarious as law enforcement intensifies their pursuit.

Back in Bombay, police uncover an unexploded RDX bomb hidden inside a scooter. This critical find leads them to identify key suspects connected to Tiger Memon, including his sister Rubina, raising the stakes in the investigation.

On March 14, 1993, the police arrest Asgar Muqadam, Tiger’s secretary. Under pressure, Asgar reveals essential information about a broader conspiracy involving other key figures like Ayub Memon and Yakub Memon.

As the investigation unfolds, it is discovered that the entire Memon family absconded to Dubai just days before the bombings. Their flight raises suspicion and complicates the police's ability to bring them to justice.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria assumes command of the chaotic case following the bombings. Meanwhile, those implicated in the conspiracy find themselves trapped in fear as their identities become compromised.

Under immense pressure, Badshah Khan, initially loyal to Tiger, learns that their planned escape is a mere illusion. Disillusioned, he chooses to cooperate with police, revealing critical details about the bombings and their motives.

As investigations deepen, authorities connect the bombings to a response against the violent communal clashes of late 1992. This context sheds light on the motivations driving Tiger and his associates.

The Central Bureau of Investigation joins the case, delving deeper into the criminal activities surrounding the bombings. Their involvement signifies the escalating severity of the events and highlights the broader implications of organized crime.

On November 4, 1993, the police officially file charges against 189 individuals linked to the bombings. This landmark action marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for the victims of the tragic events.

In a surprising twist on August 5, 1994, Yakub Memon turns himself in, providing critical insights into Tiger’s pivotal role in the bombings. His confession alters the course of the investigation and aims to deliver justice for the aggrieved.
