Mumbai: Abu Salem, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, was attacked inside the Taloja Central Jail in Navi Mumbai around two hours ago. According to a news report of NDTV, Salem sustained a bullet injury on his hand when an inmate fired at him. He has been taken to the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation Hospital in Vashi.
This is the second attack on the gangster inside a jail after he was deported from Portugal in 2005. Earlier he was attacked inside Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail in 2010, following which he was moved to the Taloja Central Jail over security concerns.
Salem was arrested in Lisbon in 2002 along with his girlfriend, actor Monica Bedi, for travelling with fake passports. He was extradited from Portugal in 2005 for his alleged role in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
