today they will deport Chhota Rajan shortly after arresting the alleged organised crime boss on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

Wiyanto said that Rajan was arrested Sunday after arriving at Bali's airport from Sydney, based on a red notice from Interpol and following a tip from Australian authorities in Canberra.

He said police were questioning Rajan in Bali police headquarter in Denpasar, the provincial capital, and coordinating with Indian diplomats for a deportation process.

He held an Indian passport when he arrived in Denpasar, about 968 kilometres east of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
