NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Thursday filed their first chargesheet in a court here against underworld don Abu Salem under MOCOCA for allegedly attempting to extort Rs five crore from a South Delhi-based contractor.
ACP Ravi Shankar of special cell of Delhi Police today submitted the chargesheet before Additional Sessions Judge Ravinder Kaur in the five-year-old extortion case alleging that Salem with the help of five accomplices made several extortion calls to one Ashok Gupta.
The chargesheet alleged that there was enough evidence against the don to try him under various sections including Sec 387 (extortion by putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt), 506 (criminal Intimidation), 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC.
It has also been alleged that certain provisions of MOCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act) is applicable against Salem as he was running an extortion racket in the Capital during his stay in Dubai.
Meanwhile, the Court issued fresh production warrant against Salem for October 5 as the Arthur Road jail authority at Mumbai failed yet again to produce him before it.
Police has already filed a chargesheet against the other five accused -- Pawan Kumar Mittal alias Raja Bhai, Sajjan Soni alias Babu Bhai, Majid Khan alias Raju Bhai, Mohammed Ashraf alias Babloo and a woman Chanchal Mehta.
According to Police, the don, in the year 2002, had made threat calls to contractor Gupta, a resident of Greater Kailash in south Delhi here, demanding Rs five crore as protection money.
Salem, who is facing trial in eight cases in the country, is lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail since his extradition from Portugal in 2005.
