This news comes when authorities have claimed that they have curbed Rajan's underworld activities considerably. City police have also managed to arrest as many as 15 members of the Chhota Rajan gang. The arrested include names like shooters Rohit Thangappan alias Satish Kalya, Umed-Ul-Rehman, Anil Waghmode, Aasid Jaan Shaikh, D K Rao, bookie Vinod Asrani, all booked in the last two months.

Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy has been quoted as saying, "With the arrest of these key associates of Rajan, we believe that we have cracked down or curtailed his activities in the city in a big way. Every day we put our all efforts to catch the wanted accused, no matter to which gang they belong to. As his activities increased in the past few months, we have taken it as a challenge and determined to nab his aides involved in the various crimes."
