Meanwhile, there was another rumour that underworld don Chhota Rajan had died due to corona virus infection, which has been reported to be incorrect. The AIIMS official has confirmed his survival. Chhota Rajan was admitted to AIIMS Hospital for treatment with covid infection in the past. Chhota Rajan had tested corona positive as he was lodged in Tihar jail.

He was admitted to the hospital in the last week of April after his report came positive. His condition remained stable for several days, but he succumbed to his injuries on Friday. Chhota Rajan was booked in more than 70 cases including several cases of kidnapping and murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for criminalising the murder of senior Mumbai journalist Jyotirmay Dey. However, he was recently released by a special CBI court in connection with the murder of Hanif Kadawala.

Chhota Rajan was also a criminal in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai. Chhota Rajan's real name was Rajendra Nikaje. He was extradited from Indonesia to India in 2015. He was taken to AIIMS on April 26 for treatment with corona infection. An tihar jail official had said during the hearing of a case on April 26 that Chhota Rajan cannot be brought for a muscle on video conferencing. This is because he has been found corona positive and admitted to the hospital.
