Fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan has admitted that he sent several men via Nepal to the Pakistani port city of Karachi to kill his former boss Dawood Ibrahim but the plan failed as the latter did not arrive at the spot where he was to be targeted.

"Yes, I did send some boys [ to Karachi]... six to seven people... They went via Nepal... We had planned to kill him at a dargah near his house in Karachi... [ But] Dawood didn't come to the spot that day. Our plan got exposed, and the team had to return," Rajan told Aaj Tak over phone from an undisclosed location.

On the prolonged gang war between him and Dawood, Rajan said: "I'm not interested in this gang war anymore.

"Whatever happened in the past happened." He also claimed that Dawood was hiding somewhere in the Gulf region and not in Pakistan, as believed by Indian intelligence agencies.

"When asked about the cricket betting syndicate run by underworld, Rajan said he had no links with it. " I have never been involved in cricket betting. I know, all these things started in 1990.

"It all started in front of me at the Sharjah stadium. Sharad and Dawood were involved in it... I knew of it but I was never involved." On possible plans of ISI, Indian Mujahideen and D- company to target India during polls, he said he didn't have any specific information.

"But they can do such things.

"They always kill innocent people. I am just talking about possibilities. There are no inputs on this right now."
