Jailed gangster wants to cast Khan and Jackie Shroff in a film he is planning to make on his life

If wishes of jailed drug lord Sharafat Sheikh of the notorious Satte gang come true, we might see Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff enacting his crime-filled life on the silver screen.

The gangster, whose team was involved in a shootout with the Delhi police last month at Green Park, said he wanted to make a movie on his life and cast Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff in the lead.

"I want to make a movie on my life and cast Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff in it," said Sheikh, who has been sent to two-day police remand in the Green Park shootout case.

Sheikh, lodged in Tihar Jail, under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) since 2005, was taken on police remand after his name surfaced during the interrogations of those arrested after the shootout in south Delhi on January 19.

Sheikh (41) was arrested after his alleged links with gangster Satya Prakash alias Satte came to light. The investigations into the Green Park encounter established Satte's links with Sharafat when the police seized fake medical papers from an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) employee's car.

Sonu, the AIIMS employee, who turned out to be an old associate of Sharafat, was helping the drug lord to seek parole on health grounds and had connived with another AIIMS employee for the same. In this connection, the police arrested the second AIIMS employee, Arjun Singh (37).

Satya Prakash and his accomplices Shakeel, Sonu alias Kuldeep and Nadir had opened fire at a police team when their car was intercepted at Green Park area last month. Their two other accomplices Harpal and Nadir, who had managed to flee, were arrested later that day from a TV news channel studio on the outskirts of the national capital.

According to the police, the six were wanted in a series of robbery cases in the National Capital Region, Rajasthan and Haryana.
