Special TADA court disallows marriage application of Salem

Press Trust of India  |  Mumbai 

The special Tada today disallowed the marriage application of gangster Abu Salem, terming it infructuous and disposed off the issue.

"The application is disposed off as its infructuous," the special said.


In 2015, a photograph of Salem with a girl had surfaced after which the Tada had asked police to conduct an inquiry when a tabloid reported that Salem married the woman "over the phone" during a train journey when he was being taken by the police to for a hearing.

In June 2015, the girl had moved the saying that the police showed her photograph with Salem and asked many people about the marriage.

The police probe sullied her character and she could not marry anybody else, so she decided to marry Salem, the girl had said.

Later, Salem too moved the giving his consent to the marring the woman.

The special TADA today sentenced Salem to life imprisonment for his role in 1993 blasts.
