`Don' gets parole to release book

New Delhi: A Delhi Court today granted two-hour parole to underworld don Babloo Srivastava, currently undergoing treatment under judicial ccustody in a Lucknow hospital, to launch his maiden book there tomorrow.

Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ), Sunil Gaur, directed prison authorities at Bareilly, where Babloo was lodged in connection with various cases, including the murder of a Delhi businessman, to release him between 12 and 2 p.m. tomorrow to enable him to launch the book `Adhoore Khwab' (Incomplete Dreams). In an application filed through his counsel J.P. Bansal, Babloo had sought six-hour parole for tomorrow's launch at `Sahkarita Bhawan' in Lucknow. The 233-page book supposedly written by Babloo deals with the nitty-gritties of abduction -- the modus operandi, how much money gangsters gain from it and the victims' ordeal. --PTI
