Tiger Memon is 9ne of top most gangster of Mumbai, India who also belongs to the D-Company. He is also among the top most in the list of India's Most Wanted for being the mastermind of the Bombay Bomb Blasts Case. He is one of the most confidant lieutenant of Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar. 

Ibrahim Mushtaq Abdul Razzaq Memon was born 24 November 1960 in Mumbai . He is better known by the nickname Tiger Memon. He is a gangster and a notified terrorist, reported to be one of the main masterminds behind the 1993 Mumbai bombings. He is wanted by Interpol and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He is a  member of D-Company, a gang led by Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar. He got the nickname Tiger after helping a petty drugs and weapons smuggler to evade the crime branch of Mumbai Police by driving his car recklessly over 100 km/h on one-way roads.

Tiger Memon has been sanctioned under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List by the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Tiger Memon's role as the prime accused in the blasts was confirmed by a Special Court set up under the terms of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act after the conviction of the others accused in the case.

On 15 September 2014, the special TADA court, hearing the long-drawn-out case around the 1993 Bombay bombings, convicted four members of the Memon family: Yakub Memon, Essa Memon, Rubina Memon and Yusuf Memon. Three other members of the family—Suleiman Memon, Hanifa Memon and Rahil Memon—were acquitted because the judge gave them benefit of doubt. The four convicted Memons have been held guilty on charges of conspiring and abetting acts of terror. They face jail terms ranging from a minimum of five years to life imprisonment. Yakub Memon (Yaqub Menon), the younger brother of prime accused Tiger Memon, had been charged for possession of unauthorised arms and was executed by hanging on 30 July 2015 in Nagpur jail. Yakub Memon was a chartered accountant by profession and was accused by the police and prosecution of arranging and handling the finances for carrying out the operation of Bombay Serial Bomb Blasts. Yakub Memon had fled India after the execution of the bomb blasts and was out of the reach of the police and prosecution. He later surrendered himself in thinking that he may would have received lesser punishment for surrendering himself in or bexoming the approver to the case. Tiger Memon is reported to have persuade him to abstain from surrendering himself in to the Indian authorities.

It is reported that Tiger Memon has avowed to take revenge on India and Indian authorities for metting death penalty on Yakub Memon.

On 26 June 2020, his other brother Yusuf Memon died while imprisoned at the Nashik Central Jail. As of 2020, Memon is still at large; one of his addresses is listed in Karachi by the US Treasury, where Dawood Ibrahim is also based.
