"Investigators have to go ahead with caution and have honest intentions of bringing out the truth", he said.

Asked to explain his stance, while he appears in terror related cases to defend the accused, Memon said, "I am being asked the question because I am a Muslim. Defence lawyers like Ram Jethmalani, Adhik Shirodkar are never asked in such a manner."

"If an innocent is framed as guilty, he may really become a terrorist," he said.
