(Reuters File photo)The murder of T-Series tycoon Gulshan Kumar led security agencies, mainly the Mumbai Police, to take note of a new ‘don’ – Abu Salem. Salem was no more a sidekick; he was atop the extortion business, managing the affairs for the Dawood Ibrahim gang. The other five are Taher Merchant, Feroz Abdul Rashid Khan, Karimullah Khan, Riyaz Siddhique and Mustafa Dossa, who died less than a fortnight after the conviction four months ago.
