A notorious figure in underworld
Chhota Rajan, whose real name is Rajendra Sadashiv Nikhalje, was once a prominent name in the Mumbai underworld. He is serving time in Tihar Jail after being convicted in several serious criminal cases. Rajan was arrested in 2015 from Bali, Indonesia, in a high-profile operation and has been in custody ever since.
Given Chhota Rajan’s criminal history and high-profile status, his treatment at AIIMS is being conducted under tight security. The jail administration confirmed that his condition is under constant observation and any decisions regarding his surgery will be made following the doctors’ recommendations.
While his current health issues are serious enough to warrant hospitalization, officials have not yet disclosed the extent of the condition or how long his stay at AIIMS might be.
Chhota Ranjan’s past
Once a close associate of Dawood Ibrahim, Rajan became a rival to the fugitive gangster after their fallout. His involvement in numerous criminal activities, including extortion, smuggling and murder, led to his arrest and imprisonment in India.
