Revealing his original name to immigration authorities when asked to step out of the queue at Bali in Indonesia landed underworld don Chhota Rajan in the security net and he was arrested soon after.
Giving details about the arrest of the don in Indonesia, CBI sources today said when he was asked to step out of the queue at Bali by the immigration authorities and identify himself, Rajan told his real name is Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje and not Mohan Kumar as mentioned in his passport.
They said after this, the Indonesian authorities were confirmed that he was the person against whom Red Corner Notice was issued.
The authorities then started identification process and 11 out of 18 points of finger print samples given in the notice matched which confirmed his identity.
The sources said he would soon be produced before a magistrate for custody.
Meanwhile, strict security measures have been adopted with the road in front of CBI headquarters closed for public movement. Heavy barricading has been done by the Delhi Police at three spots on the road.
Within headquarters, personnel of Quick Reaction Team of CISF, Nagaland Police and Delhi Police are watching every entry and exit.
Special guards in civil dress are guarding the ground floor and first floor where the underworld don is likely to have been kept even as murmurs of him being kept in a safe house are also doing the rounds.
