| Gangster Abu Salem losing sleep over hair loss |

| MUMBAI: Extradited gangster Abu Salem has a new set of worries in jail. In custody since his deportation from Portugal in November 2005, Salem has complained that the water he bathes with in Arthur Road jail is leading to hair fall. "Salem shaved off his head a few weeks ago and we are thinking of moving an application before court to grant him permission to undergo hair treatment," said Salem's lawyer Rashid Ansari. Salem is known to be a neat dresser and when he first arrived in India from a jail in Lisbon in 2005 he carried with him a number of branded clothes. "Salem has always been finicky about his looks," said an investigator who had arrested him several years ago. In fact soon after Salem was lodged at Arthur Road jail he moved an application before court asking for permission to keep two dumbbells in his cell. The request was granted and now he exercises regularly. What are the dumbbells names? Do they have purty mouths? Salem is currently facing criminal charges in three major cases in Mumbai. While he is accused of ferrying arms and ammunition to the city just before the 1993 serial blasts took place, in another case he is charged with plotting the murder of builder Pradeep Jain. The third case against him pertains to the killing of actor Manisha Koirala's secretary, Ajit Diwani. All the matters are currently pending in special courts. Salem though is not the first inmate of Arthur Road jail to complain about his physical appearance taking a beating while behind bars. An accused in the Gateway blast case, Ashrat Ansari, had complained in July that he got a rash after using a talcum powder endorsed by actor Shahrukh Khan. Ansari's brother had even served a legal notice on Khan. |
