that Indonesian police have arrested a wanted criminal, gangster Chhota Rajan, from India in Bali. Interpol has also released images of Chhota Rajan after his apprehension. Earlier, there was little clarity on whether it was gangster Chhota Rajan, who has been on the run for decades, or serial killer Mohan Kumar better known as ‘Cyanide Mohan’, with conflicting initial reports. Acting on a tip-off from Australian police, Indonesian authorities detained Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje better known as Chhota Rajan on Sunday as he arrived in the popular resort island of Bali from Sydney, Bali police spokesman Heri Wiyanto told AFP. The 55-year-old Nikalje, a gangster from India, had been on the run for two decades, Wiyanto said, with Interpol flagging him as a wanted man back in 1995. With inputs from agencies
