Mumbai, Sept 21: Police here have begun updating their dossier on alleged gangster Abu Salem, who has been arrested in Portugal, to aid the central government's efforts to extradite him. Police sources, however, said the dossier has gaping holes in it, including the lack of a current photograph of Salem, who was arrested in Lisbon on Wednesday after Indian authorities tipped off their Portuguese counterparts.

Officials believe there is an urgent need to update the records on Salem as previous attempts to extradite the globetrotting criminal have been stymied by the lack of proof of his identity.

An artist's profile of Salem complete with a fez, which was earlier released to the media, is the best police currently have. Bureau Report
