Gangster Abu Salem, serving a life sentence for his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts and the 1995 murder of builder Pradeep Jain, has filed a plea seeking information on his release date. Salem claims to have completed over 23 years in prison and argues that, based on his extradition agreement with Portugal and a 2022 Supreme Court ruling, he should be released after serving 25 years. However, the prosecution contends that the prison authorities are not obligated to provide an exact release date. The Supreme Court's decision mandates a 25-year sentence, aligning with the conditions under which Salem was extradited from Portugal. A Mumbai special court has ordered the CBI and prison officials to respond to this plea by October 17. The plea underlines Salem's request for clarity on his incarceration period, including any applicable remission and time served as an undertrial.
