The Bombay High Court has granted bail to gangster Chhota Rajan, who was convicted in the murder of hotelier Jaya Shetty in 2001. On 30 May this year, Chhota Rajan and others were convicted by a special MCOCA court, and Rajan was sentenced to life imprisonment. Today, a division bench of Justice Revati Mohite-Dere and Justice Prithviraj Chavan granted bail to Rajan and suspended his life sentence until his appeal against the special MCOCA court’s judgment is decided. This is Rajan’s second life sentence, as he is already serving time for the murder of journalist Jyotirmoy Dey in 2011.
