Bedsheets used in escape

BANGKOK (AFP): Suspected Indian mob boss Chhota Rajan on
Friday used knotted bedsheets to escape from the hospital room
where he was being held in Thai police custody, officials said.

"He used beds sheet to escape from the fourth floor of the
hospital this morning," said police Lt. Col. Worachart Rojchan.

Rajan was facing a bid to extradite him to India, where
authorities want him to stand trial on 17 counts of murder and
other mob-related charges.

New Delhi has revoked Rajan's passport on the grounds that his
travel documents were not in order, and he was under provisional
arrest in Bangkok.

Rajan was wounded in September by gunmen who burst into a
Bangkok apartment and killed his associate Rohit Verma in what
appeared to be a shooting ordered by Rajan's rival, Dubai-based
gangster Dawood Ibrahim.
