New Delhi: Gangster Chhota Rajan alias Rajendra Sadashiv Nikhalje has said that he had fought terrorism all his life.
"I have fought terrorism all my life, and I will continue to do that," he told ABP News yesterday.
The ABP News report stated that Rajan said this while referring to his enmity with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, accused of waging war against the country in 1993.
Rajan, wanted over a series of murders in India, was arrested in Indonesia last week after decades on the run.

Meanwhile, a special six-member joint team of the CBI, Delhi Police and Mumbai Police arrived in Bali on Sunday to seek the deportation of the arrested gangster.
The special team is carrying all the relevant documents needed for Rajan's extradition, including his crime history and a court warrant against him.
Rajan received consular access with an Indian diplomat meeting him at Indonesian police's detention centre.
When Rajan was arrested at the Bali airport, he was carrying an Indian passport with the assumed name Mohan Kumar.
Indian Ambassador to Indonesia Gurjit Singh said on Friday that the process relating to Rajan's deportation to India has already begun but there is no deadline for it.
Rajan, whose original name is Rajendra Sadashiv Nikhalje, has been questioned by the Indonesian police several times in the last few days to confirm his identity and criminal acts in India.
Mumbai-born Rajan, once a close confidante-turned-rival of underworld ganglord Dawood Ibrahim, has said that he is not afraid of Dawood, the prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.
