Six-day police custody for Salem

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Saturday remanded Abu Salem to six-day police custody in connection with cases registered against him under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act for threatening a South Delhi-based businessman and trying to extort money.

The Special Cell of the Delhi police produced him in the court of Additional Sessions Judge Ravinder Kaur and sought his remand for interrogation.

Objecting to the police request, Salem's counsel said under the clauses of extradition from Portugal he was to be subjected only to trial and not to custodial interrogation in different cases.

To a question by counsel, the judge said police remand was being granted in connection with both IPC and MCOCA cases.

On Friday, a Tis Hazari court had sent Salem to one-day judicial custody after police custody in another extortion case ended.

Salem was brought to Delhi on May 22 by the Mumbai police and remanded to seven-day police custody.
