Mumbai: Mumbai Police Commissioner Ahmed Javed on Tuesday stressed that there is no question of staking claim over Chhota Rajan’s custody as "he will eventually come here". Addressing a press conference, he said, "There is no question of staking claim. We will go by the rules and adequate security and precaution will be taken while taking his custody."
Responding to Rajan’s allegation that some Mumbai policemen are linked with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, Javed said, "I do not want to respond to an allegation made by a gangster."
Javed’s press conference came after Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday morning claimed that Rajan, who was picked up from Bali airport soon after his arrival from Australia, will be brought to Mumbai.
Fadnavis in his tweet mentioned that Javed will have a press conference to clear all the confusions over Rajan’s custody. Since Monday, there were speculation that he might be handed over to the Delhi police considering threat to his life but on Tuesday Fadnavis said, "Chhota Rajan will be brought to Mumbai." Without revealing much in to the matter, he said, "All security arrangements are in place for Rajan to be brought to the metropolis."
On October 25, Rajan was arrested in Bali on his arrival from Australia. On the context of whether he is afraid of returning to Mumbai, Rajan said, "The government can keep me anywhere in Delhi or Mumbai. But there should be no injustice done to me. All cases against me are false."
On Sunday, a team of sleuths comprising officers from CBI, Mumbai and Delhi police, reached Bali to get Rajan’s custody with a dossier on Rajan and his involvement in various crimes in India. Meanwhile, sources said Rajan is likely to be deported to India on Tuesday night.
