 The one-time trusted aide of terrorist and crime boss Dawood Ibrahim, Rajan is wanted in scores of criminal offences ranging from murder and extortion to smuggling and drug trafficking.
 The cases in which Rajan's involvement is suspected o include the murder of J Dey in June 2011.
 Out of the 75 cases Rajan is facing, four are registered under Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA), one under Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) and over 20 cases under stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
  Apart from compiling records of over 75 criminal cases against Rajan, a police team is also documenting the fine-prints of each case, evidences available and status of each of them in different courts, not only in Mumbai city but also in Navi Mumbai and Pune where the offences have been registered.
 Kulkarni, who heads the crime branch of Mumbai Police, said the documents would be presented to the state government as well as and Union Home Ministry to be be furnished subsequently to Indonesian counterparts for Rajan's return after translating them into English and Bahasa Indonesia, the official language of Indonesia.
