'We have to kill Chhota Rajan': D-Company

Chhota Shakeel says they had planned Rajan's execution in Indonesia, which did not work out

The notorious underworld don and India’s most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim would not rest until his former fellow and today’s arch-rival Chhota Rajan is assassinated.

This was revealed by Chhota Shakeel, a member of Dawood’s D-Company, in an interview with India Today TV.

Chhota Rajan is in police custody but D-Company has vowed to take his life in spite of the immense security that now surrounds the infamous criminal.



"Yes, we had a plan to kill him [Rajan]. We have to kill him... we will kill him here [India] also. We will not leave him, Shakeel said in the interview. "

The D-Company member said that while Rajan was in Indonesia, they had planned the execution plan, which did not work out.

Rajan was later deported to India and handed over to the police with the help of CBI and Interpol after being haunted by Indonesian authorities.

Security sources confirm Rajan has escaped many attempts on his life by Shakeel starting from Bangkok, then Australia and latest in Bali.

The D-Company had sent in a man and a woman to eliminate Rajan in Indonesia but the duo failed to carry out the uphill task as at the eleventh hour the weapons could not be arranged.



Shakeel has shared the execution plan in detail.

"They were to go just as press personnel to get his [Rajan's] interview. They went together-a woman and a man. Your information is correct; we had arranged for the identity cards and had procured a camera also. We did not get a gun, which is why we stopped otherwise we would have killed him."

Having failed to murder the company’s most hated enemy, Shakeel still believes one day the execution will be carried out.

"It is not difficult. In our dictionary, no name and no work is difficult. What is the harm in trying? Wasn't Salem killed? He had a lot of security also, but the boy killed him. He [Rajan] will also be killed likewise. The day we get the opportunity, we will drop him dead," Shakeel said.
