That's what gangster Chhota Rajan who was arrested last night in Bali, Indonesia, looks today. The picture was released by Interpol, Indonesia.
For someone who has been arrested, he looks happy.


Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje alias Chhota Rajan was arrested by Indonesian authorities in the popular resort island of Bali, police officials said on Monday.

The Union home ministry has confirmed the arrest of the gangster, who has been on the run for decades and is likely to be deported to India.

Acting on a tip-off from the Australian police, Indonesian authorities detained 55-year-old Rajan on Sunday as he arrived in Bali from Sydney, police spokesman Heri Wiyanto told AFP.

"We received information from police in Canberra (Sunday) about the red notice for a murderer," he said, adding, "We arrested the man at the airport yesterday. What we know is that this man was suspected to have carried out 15 to 20 murders in India."

Interpol's website states Nikalje was born in Mumbai and is wanted for multiple charges, including murder and possession and use of illegal firearms.


Chhota Rajan began his career in crime as a petty thief and bootlegger under the wings of Rajan Nair, who was known as 'Bada Rajan'. He became the head of Nair's gang after the latter's murder.
