New Delhi, June 10 (IBNS) Delhi Police has arrested four people who were allegedly conspiring to kill jailed underworld don Chhota Rajan at the behest of his rival Chhota Shakeel, reports said.

The four alleged contract killers have been  identified as Robinson, Junaid, Yunus and Manish. They were arrested by the special cell of Delhi police  on June 3 following which they were sent to police remand and interrogated for five days.

 
All the four were  produced in a court which sent them to judicial custody.
 
They were picked up from their residences in Rohini in Outer Delhi, Seelampur in northeast Delhi, Ghaziabad and Noida, the reports said.
 
Police also recovered a pistol and live cartridges from possession of one of them. Police claimed they were planning  to eliminate Rajan while he is taken to court for hearing.

Rajan,  who was on a run for around 27 years, was arrested from Bali in Indonesia, and brought to India in November 2015.
 
Once a close aide of mafia king Dawood Inbrahim, Rajan reportedly fell apart with him after the 1993 Mumbai blast. Since then he has had several encounters with Chhota Shakeel, the right hand man of Dawood.
