Azamgarh, Oct 11 (UNI) Mafia don Abu Salem would be in his native village Saraimeer after 20 long years to perform the last rites of his mother tomorrow.

The don, presently lodged in a Mumbai jail for his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, would be brought to the Pathan Tola locality at village Saraimeer on tomorrow under tight security.

Talking to UNI here today, Police Superintendent Prakash Tripathi said Salem would be brought to Varanasi aboard a train. Thereafter, he would be brought to Azamgarh through road.
