Salem, accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, was brought from Mumbai's Arthur Road jail to the district jail here via Varanasi.
According to sources, after completion of formalities at the district jail, the mafia don was taken to his village for 'chalisva' of his mother.
Earlier in October this year, Salem was brought from Mumbai to his village for 'Supurd-e-Khaak' ceremony, following the death of his mother.
Salem, however, maintained silence on the questions put up by the media.
Asked about the Mumbai blasts, the possibilty of him joining politics and extradition of actor and girl friend Monica Bedi to India, the mafia remained quiet.
Salem had decided to fight the concluded UP Legislative Assembly election, but could not do so, as his name was not present in the voters list.
