Seeking Chhota Rajan’s custody, who was arrested in Bali recently, the Mumbai Police have started documenting the offences committed by him, mostly in the city and outskirts, and translating them into English and Bahasa, the official language of Indonesia.
The city police got into work as soon it received official communication from the Union Home Ministry on the arrest of the long-absconding fugitive, wanted for over 75 offences here. “Yesterday, Union Home ministry contacted us and asked to prepare detailed documentation of the offences committed by Chhota Rajan and we have formed a small team to compile the history of the offender,” said Atulchandra Kulkarni, joint commissioner of police (crime branch) of Mumbai police.
“Apart from compiling his records of over 75 criminal cases, we are also documenting the fine-prints of each case, proof available and status of each of them in different courts, not only in the Mumbai city, but also in Navi Mumbai and Pune,” he said.
Kulkarni, who heads the crime branch of Mumbai Police, said the documents would be presented to the state as well as and Union Home Ministry, which would be furnished to the Indonesian counterparts for Rajan’s extradition.
