Salem has threat to life from rivals: CBI chief Mumbai: CBI director US Mishra has said that the agency had specific intelligence inputs concerning threats to extradited gangster Abu Salem from rivals. Mishra, who was on a brief visit to the city, reviewed progress of interrogation of Salem by the CBI special task force, adding that adequate security measures have been taken to thwart any threat to the suspect's life. Commenting on the controversy over the statements of Salem's lawyers that the gangster could turn approver, Mishra said that the stage had not come yet for this issue. "He has to become an accused first," he said. On being asked about the progress in the extradition request made to the US for Salem's separated wife, Samira Jumani, he said that the process was on. He however, refused to give elaborate details regarding the same. Bhopal: A local court here issued a permanent warrant against underworld don Abu Salem's first wife Sameera Jumani on Saturday in connection to a fake passport case, police sources said today. According to the report, the warrant was issued as a renewal of an earlier warrant following an application for renewal. A chargesheet was produced before the court against Salem, Sameera, Monica and others in 2002, following which permanent arrest warrants were issued against the accused, Superintendent of Police A K Singh said. Sameera, who is believed to be hiding in the USA, was booked in 1997 for procuring a forged passport from Lucknow in the name of Sabina Azmi in July 1993 along with Salem who also procured a forged passport from the same city in the name of Akil Ahmed Azmi. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) holds that Samira would be knowing more information than Monica Bedi about Salem and his involvement in blasts, his extortion business and other interests in property. |
