Jakarta: Underworld don Chhota Rajan, who has been on the run for years, and is wanted for a number of murders in India, has been arrested in Indonesia, according to reports.

Acting on a tip-off from Australian police, Indonesian authorities apparently detained Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje, alias 'Chhota Rajan' yesterday as he arrived in Bali from Sydney.

Nikalje (55), had been on the run for two decades, and the Interpol flagged him as a wanted man back in 1995.

Reports further stated that Bali police were coordinating with Interpol and Indian authorities, and that Rajan could be deported to India.

The fugitive gangster was allegedly living in Australia under another identity and had been in discussions with Indian authorities.
