Bali: Fugitive gansgter Chhota Rajan alias Rajendra Nikhalje is likely to be deported to India on Thursday night following the resumption of air services at the Bali international airport.
Rajan's deportation has been delayed for two days after Indonesia cancelled all flights at the international airport due to volcanic eruption at a neraby mountain.
A special team of CBI and Mumbai police is in Bali to oversee the deportation and bring Rajan to India.
The 55-year-old underworld don was arrested in the popular tourist town of Bali on his arrival from Australia on October 25 on the basis of a Red Corner Notice from Interpol and following a tip off by Australian authorities to the police in Indonesia.
Mumbai Police has nearly 70 cases registered against Rajan, including 20 of murder, four cases under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, one under Prevention of Terrorism Act and over 20 cases under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.
Delhi Police has six cases registered against Rajan, who was a close aide of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim at one point but split before the 1993 Mumbai blasts were conspired.
