Indian agencies were keen that the deportation takes place at the earliest and had put in a request to Indonesian authorities on Sunday itself. Formalities for deportation have already been completed.
Rajan is wanted in over 75 heinous crimes ranging from murder, extortion to smuggling and drug trafficking.
