Gangster Abu Salem's reported 'confession' during his brain-mapping and narco tests that he was given a 'supari' by actress Manisha Koirala to kill her secretary Ajit Dewani has set Bollywood and the media world abuzz. Sources told that Salem had indeed named the actress. However, Jai Jeet Singh, additional commissioner of the anti-terrorist squad, has roundly rubbished the reports. "This is just speculation," he asserted. "The forensic report is with me in a sealed envelope. Nobody knows its contents. I would just say that the news is false." According to TV reports, Salem confessed that he had killed Dewani after being "approached" by Koirala who had had a dispute with her secretary. Bollywood sources said that Manisha and Dewani used to quarrel over money, but that their dispute was sorted out in the presence of a producer much before Dewani's murder in June 2001 by two Salem shooters. Koirala is in Australia and was unavailable for comment. Her secretary, Michael Thapa, said he was having difficulty contacting her. Narco and brain-mapping tests have no evidentiary value, but are used by the police to aid investigations. A senior ATS officer said the cops were investigating only the Pradeep Jain murder case, as per the assurance given to Portugal. However, the ATS can pass on the narco analysis report to the crime branch, which is probing the Dewani case. "It does not serve anyone if such sensitive information is prematurely publicised," said advocate Majeed Memon. "What Salem is said to have stated in the test is only information in the eyes of the law, and must be verified."
