Mumbai: Decades after evading the law, underworld don Chhota Rajan has finally been caught. His influence in the state of Maharashtra is immense and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reveals that his government was working on the case.
It remains to be seen whether Rajan will be prosecuted or become an approver.
"The Centre was in coordination for over a month, some information was also given from Maharashtra government. Important thing is to provide all evidence against him to centre so that he can be deported to India. Then we will want that he is given to Maharashtra Police for interrogation. It is a big development, this will help us break nexus of crime. The effort is also to catch big names of D gang and Dawood Ibrahim. He may also give us a lead about other criminals and cases," he said.
Most wanted gangster after Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Rajan was arrested on Monday in Bali in Indonesia.
On Saturday afternoon, Rajan spoke to one of his close associate whose phone was being tapped by Indian Intelligence Agencies. During the conversation, Rajan reportedly said that he did not feel safe in Australia and that he plans to move out soon.
CBI, Crime Intelligence Unit of Mumbai Crime Branch, Australia Police and Indonesia police were coordinating. Government sources say Australian authorities had already alerted their Indian counterparts when Rajan had applied for a visa extension in Australia.
