Crime Branch team for Indonesia faces threat

Mumbai Crime Branch team which would be visiting Indonesia to bring back arrested gangster Chhota Rajan faces threat there and local authorities have been requested to ensure safety of its members. A senior officer privy to the development said today, “We have received some inputs that the team which would go to Indonesia to bring back Chhota Rajan also faces threat perception (like the gangster) and we are taking extra vigil in this matter.” “We have shared our concerns with the host country and urged them to ensure safe and smooth passage while departing from there,” he said. Rajan, one-timed trusted aide of underworld don and terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, was nabbed in the tourist town of Bali early this week. The 55-year-old mobster faces threat to his life from Dawood, whose men attacked and injured him in a Thailand hotel in September 2000.
