Jul 05 2015 : The Times of India (Mumbai) Who will head Rajan gang? Aides lock horns  Ahmed Ali    Squabbling Men Lodged In Different Jails While gangster Chhota Rajan is on the run from his rivals, his foot soldiers are busy fighting to gain supremacy over the gang. If sources in the underworld are to be believed, Rajan aides--Umaid-urRahman and D K Rao--have cross swords over control of the gang's operations in Mumbai.Currently , Rahman (30) is facing trial in the killing of Iqbal Kaskar's bodyguard Arif Bael in Nagpada, which is considered to be international terrorist Dawood Ibrahim's fief. There have been a spate of incidents in Taloja penitentiary after which Rahman was shifted to Arthur Road jail. D K Rao still remains in Taloja jail. “The friction was palpable.They couldn't stand each other and start abusing when they come face to face. Some of the inmates have taken sides and this has become a worry for the police escorts,“ said a source. The crime branch has written to prison authorities to increase vigilance. Squabbles between gangsters behind bars are not new. In late 2000s, the authorities had to house gang members in separate prisons due to infighting. To worsen matters, rival gangs are trying to lure Rahman into their fold. Dons Chhota Shakeel and Ravi Pujari have made a plum offer to the Chhota Rajan aide. “Rahman has turned them down as he is loyal to his mentor Rajan. He also aspires to start his own gang in the future,“ said an underworld watcher. Although he is lodged behind bars, Rahman has become a cause for worry . “We are concerned as rival gangs are wooing Rahman. We are watching and hope that Rahman does not become another fugitive gangster,“ said an IPS officer.
