A Mumbai sessions court on Tuesday rejected gangster Abu Salem's application against his planned transfer from the Taloja prison in Navi Mumbai to another jail in Maharashtra, reported the PTI.

According to the PTI, Abu Salem, sentenced to life imprisonment in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, claimed that the decision to shift him out of the Taloja prison was a "conspiracy to kill him" as he was likely to be released in a few months.
