How do you calculate 25 years from 2005: SC asks gangster Abu Salem

NEW DELHI: (Jan 12) The Supreme Court on Monday questioned gangster Abu Salem over his claim of having completed 25-year jail term in India, and asked how he was calculating the period since his arrest in November 2005.

Salem, a convict in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, was extradited from Portugal on November 11, 2005, after a prolonged legal battle.

Salem has said his sentence could not exceed 25 years as per the assurance given by India to Portugal for his extradition.
