- The affidavit described Salem as an international gangster and cited his flight from India after the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
- The Uttar Pradesh Police submitted an adverse report calling Saraimir a communally sensitive area, which led to rejection of his 14-day request on November 20, 2025.
- The CBI sought to be impleaded and warned that granting parole or bail could trigger law-and-order problems, with the bench led by Justices Ajey Gadkari and Shyam Chandak to hear the matter next week.
