A Portugal court has asked gangster Abu Salem to amend his petition challenging the extradition. The court has asked Salem to make the External Affairs Ministry of Portugal and the country's Attorney General the respondents in the case.
The gangster, who was deported to India in 2005, has moved the Portugal court seeking a direction to the government to execute the order cancelling his extradition.
Salem was in February sentenced to life imprisonment by a special TADA court in a 1995 builder murder case. This, even as Salem claimed that the murder of builder Pradeep Jain in 1995 was only “incidental to the conspiracy to extort”.
Salem is currently facing trial in connection to the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
