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.
The Supreme Court has stayed the Bombay High Court order restoring control of the Shani Shingnapur temple trust and appointed the Nashik divisional commissioner as administrator. The move comes amid concerns over mismanagement, expiring tenure of trustees, and handling of crores in devotees’ offerings.
