‘Mujhe India Jana Hai’: Underworld Don Chota Rajan
Once the case papers against him are submitted, he can be deported by Indonesia to India. Though India and Indonesia have an extradition treaty, the same has not been ratified yet.
According to an Indian Express report, a senior Mumbai police officer said that Rajan owns hotels in China and Jakarta and a few jewellery shops in Singapore and Thailand. So far, the Mumbai Crime Branch has tracked details of 75 cases registered against Rajan.
India’s national security adviser devised a plan to secure the arrest of a fugitive Mumbai gangster in Indonesia as part of a strategy to hunt down India’s most-wanted man, Dawood Ibrahim, police and home ministry sources told Reuters. This was one of the clinching evidence against Rajan provided to Interpol with help of Mumbai Police.
“As revenge, Shakeel informed the Australian police about Rajan and the fact that he held a fake passport under the name of Mohan Kumar. Since he is a foreigner, we have heightened security for him”, he told reporters. If D-company (Dawood Ibrahim’s gang) manages to eliminate Rajan, who was not keeping well, this would have seriously dented intelligence agencies’ image, as it is widely believed that Rajan enjoyed patronage of Indian spy agencies to get even with D-company, which has the backing of Pakistan. The top cop Nainggolan said, “Rajan had been found medically fit”. “With such huge volume of cases against him and a lot of them being under MCOCA, Rajan will be in our custody for at least three years”, said an official. I will tell CBI everything during interrogation.
Indian authorities, at current, are engaged on the documentation to be offered for deportation of Rajan from Indonesia, which has been made straightforward lately after the 2 nations signed an settlement to handover criminals based mostly on a courtroom warrant.
Talking to ABP News, he said he was arrested and that he had not surrendered. On the question whether he was afraid of Dawood, he said he was not afraid of anyone. “The inquiry will be confined to ascertain whether the identity is true or not and to ensure that we did not arrest the wrong person”, he said.
