Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday wrote to Mumbai Police asking it to prepare documents for extradition of underworld don Chhota Rajan from Bali in Indonesia, said sources.
The Mumbai Police is preparing dossier of over 80 cases and Rajan's voice sample will also be shared.
Earlier in the day, in an exclusive interaction with CNN-IBN, Rajan said that he is not afraid of anyone. While entering a police lock up in Bali, Rajan said, "I am not afraid of anyone."
Police officers had conducted a medical examination of the arrested gangster. According to reports, he is set to be extradited to India in a few days. However, Bali Police officials have told CNN-IBN that Indian agencies have not made any move to interrogate Rajan.
Bali Police has also said that Rajan has been cooperating with them. Chhota Rajan was arrested in a coordinated effort between the Indian authorities, Australian and Indonesian Police and the Interpol.
Sources also revealed that Rajan may have struck a deal with intelligence agencies for arrest. According to the sources, he was used by intelligence agencies to keep a close tab on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
After his fallout with Dawood, it is widely believed that Rajan sold his loyalty to the intelligence agencies.
In 2000, Dawood's henchmen carried out an attack on Rajan which he survived but his health began to deteriorate. He has been undergoing dialysis since 2010. Dawood's men reportedly made another attempt on Rajan's life earlier in 2015 in New South Wales.
In his last conversation with a close associate, Rajan expressed his apprehension about staying in Australia.
The arrest was made on a tip off from Australian police that 55-year-old Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje alias Mohan Kumar alias Chhota Rajan has flown from Sydney to Indonesia's popular tourist destination Bali, where he was arrested on Sunday.
