Chhota Rajan brought to India; taken into CBI custody, questioning unlikely todayNew Delhi: Underworld don Chhota Rajan was finally brought back to India on Friday after being on the run for the past 27 years. Rajan landed at Delhi’s Palam airport at around 5:30 AM from Indonesia and was taken to the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters at Lodhi Road for interrogation.

55-year-old Rajan reached here in a special aircraft around 5.30 am at Palam airport and immediately after his arrival, he was escorted out of the airport under heavy security and taken away in an official car accompanied by heavily armed escort vans.

Rajan, the powerful aide-turned-rival of terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, will be kept in the national capital where he will be questioned by sleuths of various investigating agencies as he has been making claims of having further evidence to nail India’s most wanted man and his links with Pakistan’s snooping agency ISI.

The ‘friendly don’, who has been absconding from India for two decades was arrested by Indonesian police on a request of CBI in Bali on October 26, following a tip-off by the Australian Federal Police. Rajan is considered to be ‘friendly don’ as he reportedly tipped Indian security agencies about the movement of Dawood and his aides.

He will be produced before a special CBI magistrate court for facing trial in various criminal cases registered against him in Delhi and Mumbai. Rajan had told media in Bali that he was happy to return to his motherland and had rubbished reports that his arrest was orchestrated as he was facing threat from Dawood’s men.

Chhota Rajan, one of the India’s most wanted gangster, was arrested in the tourist town of Bali, Indonesia, on a Red Corner Notice issued by Interpol after eluding law enforcement agencies for over two decades. The arrest was made on a tip off from the Australian Police that 55-year-old Rajan has flown from Sydney to Bali.
