New Delhi: Sisters of underworld don of Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje alias Chhota Rajan, who is presently in CBI custody, have appealed to the special CBI court seeking permission to meet their brother for ‘Bhai Dooj’ ritual on Friday.
It was learnt that the application was moved by Rajan's sisters Sunita Sakkharam Chavan and Malini Sakpal. The plea was filed before the sessions court at New Delhi on Thursday.
Special CBI Judge OP Saini has sent the application to the prosecution and has fixed it for hearing before Special Judge Vinod Kumar on Friday.
Advocate Rajiv Jai, who appeared on behalf of Rajan's sisters, said the court has asked the IO to consider the plea keeping in view the security concerns. In an application moved before the court, Rajan's sisters sought permission to meet the underworld don on compassionate grounds.
"The applicants pray that the applicant Sunita Sakkharam Chavan and her elder sister Malini Sakpal may be allowed to meet their brother. That the applicants are physically unfit and may be escorted by their son-in-law Anil Menon for help," their application said.
After being on the run for the past 27 years, underworld don Chhota Rajan was brought to India from Indonesia on November 6 by a joint team headed by CBI officials to face trial in various criminal cases registered against him in Delhi and Mumbai.
On November 7, CBI had got 10 days custody of 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.
