Gangster Abu Salem, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, was termed an “international criminal” by Maharashtra. The state told the Bombay High Court he is eligible only for two days emergency parole with escort, rejecting his 14 days request.
Gangster Abu Salem challenged his transfer from Taloja to Nashik Central Prison, citing life threats. Convicted for 1993 Mumbai blasts, he appealed to the Bombay High Court, highlighting security concerns, pending trials, and potential legal complications. The prison’s urgent maintenance and presence of rival gangs in other jails were also raised as issues.
A Mumbai court quashed an Enforcement Directorate (ED) order to attach NCP leader Praful Patel’s properties worth over Rs 180 crore in a money laundering case linked to Iqbal Mirchi. The Appellate Tribunal deemed the action “illegal,” citing lack of evidence and stating that the properties were acquired legitimately. The CBI also found no wrongdoing by Patel.
