Mumbai: Extradicted underworld don Abu Salem will
remain in the custody of Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS)
till 3 January 2006, Special Judge P.V. Bhavkar ruled
on Saturday.
The ATS has extended the remand as it would help to
investigate whether, the weapons used to murder builder
Pradeep Jain were the ones delivered by Salem and Riaz
Siddique to film actor and bomb blast accused Sanjay
Dutt in 1993. Investigators claimed that progress has
been made in the probe despite the efforts by Salem’s
lawyers to keep the ATS busy in court fending false
allegations.
“The defence has deliberately misused visitation
rights to hinder this process. I urge the court to either
cancel or restrict this privilege and take legal measures
to end this sabotage,” appealed Ujwal Nikam the
prosecutor to the special judge. The court, however,
didn’t make any change to the visitation rights
of Salem’s advocates.
