Gangster Chhota Rajan, who has 71 cases of murder, extortion and drug trafficking against him in Mumbai.
Chhota Rajan, the gangster arrested in Bali after a two-decade chase, has claimed a threat to his life and sought consular access.
Sources say Rajan, 55, has written to the Indonesian police and complained that his security in Bali is not enough. He has reportedly also alleged that he is not being given proper medical care.
Rajan, who has 71 cases of murder, extortion and drug trafficking against him in Mumbai, said this morning that
he wanted to return to India and did not want to go to Zimbabwe, as was reported earlier.
Rajan had told the Bali Police earlier that he did not want to go back to India as he was afraid of being killed by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, his former mentor turned bitter rival, who has made many attempts on his life.
But now Rajan is no longer resisting deportation to India, say sources.
The Mumbai Police is translating legal documents from Marathi and English to Indonesia's national language, Bahasa, to prep for its visit to Denpasar to bring back the most-wanted criminal. Indonesian authorities say they are bound by law to deport Rajan within 20 days.
Rajan is "nervous and smokes constantly," the Bali Police have told NDTV.
Responding to NDTV's question on whether he was scared of Dawood,
Rajan said yesterday: "Mujhe kisi se darr nahin hain (I am not afraid of anyone)."Rajan,
against whom the Interpol put out a Red Corner notice in 1995, was
arrested on Sunday as a result of a planned operation that began in August after he applied for visa extension in Australia. His details matched with the Interpol notice and Australia then informed India.
