Salem, accompanied by the Anti-terrorist squad (ATS) of Mumbai,
was flown in from Mumbai.
A TADA Court in Mumbai hearing the 1993 bomb blast case
last week allowed ATS to subject Salem to scientific tests
in connection with the Pradeep Jain murder case.
Sources in the Forensic Science Laboratory ,where he was
taken, said the tests would take two-three days. Salem had
given his consent before the TADA court to undergo the scientific
tests.
ATS's intention to subject him to scientific tests is to get
more clues from him on the involvement of other accused in
the murder case.
The Special Public Prosecutor, Ujjwal Nikam, had told the
Mumbai TADA court that Salem had disclosed the names of certain
persons who were part of his financial chain of collection
and distribution of extortion money.
The scientific tests are intended to find out if Salem was
speaking the truth, Nikam had said.
