Notorious Indian gangster jailed for life

A court in India's Mumbai city yesterday sentenced gangster Abu Salem, a key associate of crime lord Dawood Ibrahim, to life in prison for a 20-year-old murder. Salem was convicted earlier in the month for the March 1995 killing of builder Pradeep Jain, who was shot outside his Mumbai home in a property dispute. There are at least another 25 cases of murder, extortion and kidnapping registered against him.
