Mumbai: Underworld don Abu Salem, who was extradited from Portugal in November this year, feels that his estranged wife Samira may have tipped-off the Portugal Police, leading to his arrest in 2001, police sources said.
Salem, who is in the custody of the Anti-Terrorist Squad of Mumbai Police in connection with the 1995 Pradeep Jain murder case, reportedly told interrogators that Samira Jumani, his estranged wife, could have 'fixed' him in the Portugal police case, ATS sources revealed.
Samira Jumani, a resident of suburban Santacruz, married Salem against the wishes of her family in early 90s, and also bore him a son. At present she lives in the US, and runs a supermarket and a theatre, which was allegedly bought for her by Salem with underworld funds.
Relations between Sumaira and Salem soured after starlet Monica Bedi entered the latter's life. Salem told interrogators that Samira could have 'fixed' him out of envy or revenge. Salem has also alleged that she pocketed his entire money.
Meanwhile, Salem continues to be obsessed with Monica who is in Hyderabad jail on judicial custody in the CBI case of obtaining forged passports.
"Salem keeps asking about her, although Monica reportedly refused to meet Salem's lawyers," ATS sources said.
After getting married, Salem and Monica had been living together for the last few years, while his estranged first wife Samira lived in the US.
