was convicted for the 2001 murder of hotelier Jaya Shetty.
AM Patil, a special judge for cases under the Maharashtra Control Of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), found Rajan guilty under the Indian Penal Code’s murder provisions.
Jaya Shetty was the owner of the Golden Crown hotel, located in central Mumbai’s Gamdevi area. On May 4, 2001, two alleged members of the Chhota Rajan gang shot and killed Shetty on the hotel’s first floor.
