Who knows how is Chhota Rajan,
the man arrested the other day on Bali Island? Why was he wanted in India for
more than two dozen murder cases? Why did he use to cyanide his victims, mostly
women? What was special related to him that India kept tracking his movements
closely, and informed the police in Indonesia and Australia? One wonders,
Rajendra Nikalje, his real name, has been “on Interpol's wanted list since 1995
for running a crime syndicate that engaged in extortion, arms smuggling and
contract killing.”
One recalls Chhota Rajan’s recorded and widely reported involvement in supplying
arms and funding the BLA and safely trafficking its activists to Iran and
Afghanistan. Refer to the investigative report by Makhdoom Babar available on
the web. Rajan has also been staying in UAE, Afghanistan and other countries
reportedly working for executing RAW-directed operations inside Pakistan. It is
unclear whether the man was tracked to really prosecute him or bring him under
protective custody to hide his acts of sabotage, subversion and terrorism from
the world at large. One believes that the dossiers handed over to the US, UN and
Indian government very much include a huge of list of RAW agents and handlers
including that of Chhota Rajan. Reportedly Daoud Ibrahim also happened to be the
Chhota Rajan-like gangster whom the Indian government wanted to track down so
that they could eliminate the evidence of RAW’s own sinister designs.
Pakistan must hand over a dossier to the Indonesian government and under the
pretext demand Chhota Rajan’s handing over to Islamabad. If not possible, then
the Pakistan government should formally ask the Indian government for Chhota
Rajan’s handing over to Islamabad, so that cases of his involvement in acts of
terrorism and other crimes could be initiated.
