Rajan gangster arrested for threatening jailor

MUMBAI: A Chhota Rajan gangster, who recently threatened jailor Swati Sathe of the Arthur Road jail in central Mumbai, was arrested by the Bandra unit of the crime branch on Monday.
The accused, Rafiq Hussain alias Gachhi, had threatened Ms Sathe with dire consequences as she had not allowed Rajan gangsters, lodged in the jail, to celebrate Chhota Rajan''s birthday on January 13.
Said inspector Vijay Salaskar, "The Rajan men, including a key member D.K. Rao, wanted to bring a birthday cake and arrange for a musical programme in the jail.But Ms Sathe did not give them the permission."
Gachhi, who was released from the jail about a month ago, called up Ms Sathe on her mobile phone and threatened her.
A complaint was registered at N.M. Joshi Marg police station in this connection. Acting on a tip-off that Gachhi would arrive in Bandra on Monday, a police team led by Mr Salaskar laid a trap and arrested him.
