Rohit Shetty firing case: MCOCA imposed on 5 accused, custody extended till 17 February!

Mumbai Police has taken a big step in the firing incident outside the house of film maker Rohit Shetty. Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) has been imposed on the five accused arrested in this case.

on wednesday After the police custody of the five accused ended, they were presented in the special MCOCA court. The court has sent all the five accused to police custody till February 17.

Mumbai Crime Branch had sought police custody of these accused for 15 days, but the Special Court refused to grant such long custody and ordered to send them to police custody only for a period till February 17.

The police had already arrested five people in this case. These accused are accused of firing outside Rohit Shetty’s house. After the incident, the police formed 12 teams. At the same time, Mumbai Crime Branch immediately started investigation and took these five into custody within a few days.

There have been many revelations in the initial investigation, after which the police decided to impose MCOCA. MCOCA is a strict law, which is used in cases like organized crime, gang war and extortion. Under this law, the accused does not get bail easily and the police get more powers during the investigation.

At the same time, Mumbai Crime Branch has made a big revelation in the investigation of the firing case at Rohit Shetty’s house. The absconding accused Shubham Lonkar was planning to spread terror in Mumbai. He had told the arrested accused that “something big has to be done in Mumbai.”

The Crime Branch officer told the court that the arrested accused was in contact with Shubham Lonkar through Signal App. Shubham had transferred Rs 40 thousand to the bank account of that accused.

Apart from this, Shubham had given three weapons to his brother Praveen Lonkar. Praveen delivered these weapons to the arrested accused involved in the Rohit Shetty firing case. Now the police will take Praveen Lonkar into custody and interrogate him thoroughly. Police say that this conspiracy could be bigger. Raids and surveillance have been intensified to arrest absconding Shubham Lonkar soon.
