Chhota Rajan was once a partner of Narco terrorist and 1993 Mumbai blast accused Dawood Ibrahim. The 61-year-old had been kept in the high-security wing of the Tihar Jail after his extradition from Bali, Indonesia.
After Rajan tested positive for the coronavirus, officials of Tihar Jail gave this information to a session court in New Delhi on Monday (26 April). The security personnel posted there to protect Rajan from assassination are also being tested and have been told to quarantine themselves.
A while back, there was an attempt to poison him within the confines of the prison.
