Here are the inside details of what happened when Portugal Embassy officials met Abu Salem inside Taloja jail.

The embassy officials were inside the jail for over two hours to take the statement of Abu Salem, about the alleged violations of his extradition order and allegations of his human rights violations. However, all the allegations made by the underworld don Salem proved wrong in front of the officials.

Here is the blow by blow account of what happened inside the Taloja jail when embassy officials met Salem.

Salem was in his white conviction uniform. Embassy officials, along with one CBI officer, top cops of Jail officials including DIG was present. Salem is convicted for life in Mumbai's 1993 blast case and a life term for builder Pradeep Jain murder case. Recently he was also sentenced to seven years by Delhi court in an extortion case. Salem was extradited in 2005 from Portugal.

On Tuesday, the team arrived and started taking the statement of Salem. An interpreter was kept to translate Hindi to English and vice versa.

A highly placed source said, "Salem immediately started about a number of cases against him and his convictions. He kept on going on and told all about his cases. This is when the officials stopped him and said that they are here only to know about his human right violation allegations."

Now, Salem told the officials that he is not given proper food and it is very unhygienic. The jail officials told the embassy officials that everyone is given same food and tested good quality. There are over thousands of prisoners and all are given the same food of the same quality.

Here Salem was silent and to counter it he said that I am not given non-veg food. Here the jail officials told that in whole Maharashtra prision, non-veg food is not served. Non-veg is not allowed at all. Only during festivals like Eid, Christmas, Diwali etc, prisoners on their own expenses can order non-veg food from outside on their own expenses, not by jail officials. Again Salem was silent.

Salem now told the embassy officials that he is kept in the solitary confinement alone where there is not proper air and not good living conditions. To which jail officials told that he is kept in the solitary confinement with other prisoners that are over 40 prisoners.

This allegation of Salem too proved wrong. Salem was silent and the embassy officials too did not entertain this allegation.

The third most important allegation made by Salem was that he is not taken to private hospital for a medical check-up by jail officials. To this, the jail officials gave a befitting reply.

The jail officials brought their whole record book, which showed them that Salem is taken to private hospital for over hundred times for some of the other reasons. They told every now and then Salem complaints about something and they rush him to a private hospital. Salem was completely silent on this.

In this way, several questions were raised by Salem which mostly proved wrong.
