Gangster Chhota Rajan gets 7 years in jail in fake passport case after 22-year legal battle

Gangster Chhota Rajan was sentenced to seven years in prison by a special CBI court in Chennai for obtaining a fake passport using forged documents. The conviction marks the conclusion of a 22-year legal battle. Rajan, already serving life imprisonment in multiple criminal cases, including the 2001 murder of Mumbai hotelier Jaya Shetty, faced renewed sentencing after the Supreme Court overturned a previous decision that had suspended his life sentence. The court emphasized his history of multiple convictions and prolonged evasion of justice. Rajan is currently incarcerated in Delhi's Tihar Jail.
