Gangster Chhota Rajan Convicted In 2001 Case Of Mumbai Hotelier Jaya Shetty’s Murder

New Delhi: A Mumbai court on Thursday held gangster Chhota Rajan guilty of the murder of hotelier Jaya Shetty in 2001. The court will likely pronounce the quantum of the sentence later in the day.

A special judge for cases under the Maharashtra Control Of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), AM Patil, convicted Rajan, according to PTI.

Jaya Shetty was the owner of the Golden Crown Hotel at Gamdevi in central Mumbai. He had been getting calls for extortion from the Chhota Rajan gang.

He was shot dead by two alleged members of the gang inside his hotel on May 4, 2001.

Due to the threats, the Maharashtra police had provided him a security cover. However, two months before the murder, his security cover had been withdrawn.
