Declared a fugitive, Salem was at last caught in Lisbon, Portugal with his alleged second wife Monica Bedi. His whereabouts were traced through GPS which tracked his satellite phone.

After serving sentence in Portugal, he was extradited to India to face trail. In 2006, 8 charges were filed against him by a special TADA court and he was lodged into Mumbai's Arthur jail.

Recently, Salem made headlines once again with his third marriage which was consummated on a train to Lucknow.
