A special court has ccepted a closure report filed by the CBI against jailed gangster Chhota Rajan in the case related to a firing on builder and film financier Yusuf Lakdawala in 2001. A closure report is filed when an investigating agency believes that it does not have enough evidence to proceed against an accused.

Special Judge AT Wankhede accepted the report and directed that Rajan be 'released' as per section 169 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (release of accused when evidence is deficient). The court also asked Rajan to furnish a personal bond of Rs 50,000. However, the gangster would not walk out of jail as he is facing numerous other cases.
