93 Blast Convict Abu Salem Can Be Given Only Two Days Parole: Maha Govt

Mumbai, Jan 13 (UNI) The Maharashtra government on Tuesday informed the Bombay high court that 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts convict Abu Salem, was an “international criminal” and hence can be granted only two-day emergency parole with police escort for which he should bear the cost.
The submission was made in response to a plea moved by the gangster seeking a14-day parole citing his elder brother’s death. Defence Advocate Farhana Shah, submitted that two days would not be enough as he has to travel to his hometown in Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh and there is no need for any police escort. She also told the court that her client has been in jail for over two decades and is seeking emergency parole.
While opposing the plea, public prosecutor Mankhuwar Deshmukh said since Salem was an “international criminal”, it was not possible to grant him parole for two weeks. Jail authorities have also recommended two days' parole only.
