A local court later remanded Salem and Alam to police custody till February 15.

Dewani, secretary to Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala [Images], was murdered in 2001 at Salem's behest after he failed to pay extortion money, police said, alleging that Alam was a conduit between Salem and Dewani's killers, and that he had provided murderers arms to kill the victim.

Salem, deported from Portugal last year, is now in Mumbai crime branch custody.
