HC rejects gangster Abu Salem Abdul Qayoom Ansari’s plea for immediate release
The Bombay high court on Wednesday rejected gangster Abu Salem Abdul Qayoom Ansari’s plea seeking his immediate release from jail, claiming that he had completed his 25-year jail term on March 31, 2025, in the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings case. Ansari’s lawyer, Farhana Shah, said the Supreme Court in 2022 upheld her client’s plea that he cannot be sentenced to a term of over 25 years in view of the assurance given to Portugal, where he was extradited from.
