Meanwhile, CBI today got 10-day custody of underworld don Chhota Rajan in connection with an alleged fake passport case registered by the agency on October 31 shortly before its team left for Indonesia to deport him back from Indonesia.
The agency had registered a case against Rajan and unnamed officials for allegedly issuing a passport to him with fake identity of Mohan Kumar in Harare, Zimbabwe in 2003 where he was hiding after escaping from Bangkok following an attempt on his life in the year 2000 by Dawood Ibrahim's hitmen.
