MUMBAI: Abu Salem who has been held guilty in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case moved the special TADA court on Wednesday saying the Delhi police had slapped a "false and frivolous case" on him and sought to detain him in "gross violation of the 2003 extradition order".Special judge Sanap issued a notice to the Delhi police and posted the matter for further hearing on July 12.
His lawyers, Sudeep Pasbola and Farhana Shah, submitted an application and sought orders to the Delhi police chief. Salem was extradited from Portugal to face specific cases, one of which was the1993 blasts. But his concern was that once the sentence is passed by the TADA court in Mumbai, the Delhi police may seek his detention in an alleged 1998 case of extortion even though it was not in the list of cases in the extradition treaty .
Salem's lawyer said the court may call for the Delhi police's reply to know why "every now and then a warrant is issued in the 1998 case."
