In this instance, Salim was freed from jail in 2010.
Salim was detained again in 2016 by Mumbai Police’s anti-extortion unit (AEC) in connection with a case that dates back to 2004. Salim had demanded Rs 25 lakh from the Mumbai-based doctor while purportedly staying in Dubai at the time and calling from an international number, according to police. After the doctor filed a complaint, police apprehended two persons who were caught collecting the protection money red-handed.
During one of the court sessions in 2016, AEC investigators discovered that Salim had been to at least 17 to 18 countries in the previous three years, including Bangkok, Sri Lanka, and China. He stated, however, that he visited China on business and Bangkok as a tourist.
