A special court in Mumbai on Thursday convicted gangster Chhota Rajan in the case of murder of hotelier Jaya Shetty here in 2001.
Special judge for cases under the Maharashtra Control Of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), AM Patil, held Rajan guilty under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) provisions for murder.
The court is likely to decide the quantum of punishment later in the day.
Jaya Shetty, proprietor of the Golden Crown hotel in central Mumbai’s Gamdevi area, was fatally shot on May 4, 2001, on the hotel’s first floor. Shetty had been facing extortion threats from the Chhota Rajan gang.
Notably, he had reported these threats and had been under police protection. However, two months before the attack, Shetty requested the withdrawal of his security detail.
