Chhota Rajan's lawyer wants CBI to take him into custody in all cases

Mumbai: Deported gangster Chhota Rajan's lawyer on Thursday made an application before the special court situated inside high security Arthur Road jail requesting that CBI should take Rajan into custody in all the cases in which non-bailable warrant against Rajan has been issued.

According to Rajan's defence lawyer Avinash Kamkhedekar since Rajan is already in custody and hence this is best time to take him into custody as NBW is already issued against him.

The special judge Samir Adkar also directed the CBI to file progress report (into J Dey murder case investigation) in court on next date of hearing i.e. March 14.

The CBI reiterated that they are facing several problems like they don't have infrastructure and notification for appointment of special public prosecutor is expected by next week. Till now no public prosecutor is appointed for CBI in J Dey murder case.

The gangster was in Bali in October last year by the Indonesian police which acted on a Red Corner Notice issued by Interpol.
