Rajan arrested, to be sent back to India: PTI

Jaishree Balasubramanian

Thai police Friday arrested Bombay underworld don Chhota Rajan for entering the country on an "illegal" passport and said he would be sent back to India after trial.

Immigration Police Chief Lt Gen Hemaraj Theerathai said Vijay Kadam, alias Chhota Rajan, was arrested after a three-member Bombay police team, which in Thailand Thursday, confirmed that the passport on which the don entered Thailand was not genuine.

"This allowed Thai Immigration Police to detain him for illegal entry," he added.

"Kadam (Chhota Rajan) is under arrest and won't be allowed to leave the country until his trial for illegal entry is over. Then he will be sent back to India where he is wanted for many charges," Theerathai said.

Under the Thai law, a person is deported to the country of his origin if he is charged with illegal entry.

The immigration police chief said that the Bombay police also showed to them Rajan's criminal records in India.
