Convicted 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Abu Salem has sought 14-day emergency parole to attend his brother's last rites and related ceremonies. Salem, currently in Nashik Central Prison, claims his earlier parole application for his brother's illness was delayed. His recent emergency parole request was initially rejected due to surety issues, but later granted for two days with strict conditions. Salem is challenging this, citing inability to afford escort charges and asserting his good conduct during decades of incarceration.
