Gangster D K Rao, two others arrested for threatening home investors

“In this case, the builder had taken money from investors but did not provide houses. When they started asking for their money back, he approached D K Rao to threaten them,” the officer said. The official added, “While the incident took place last year, we received a complaint now based on which an FIR was registered.”

In January this year too, he was arrested for threatening an Andheri-based hotelier to sell his flat at a cheap rate where he allegedly issued death threats as well. He was eventually released on bail by a sessions court in April this year.

Rao, a Dharavi resident, started out with petty crimes in the 90s and later joined the Chhota Rajan gang to carry out extortion in the city. While eventually he branched out and formed his own gang, he remained loyal to Rajan.

The gangster has 42 cases registered against him including six of murder, five related to dacoity and others related to extortion.

In October 2022, the gangster was granted bail by the Bombay High Court in connection with an organised crime case wherein he allegedly made an extortion call from behind bars and was out till January this year.
