MCOCA comes into play
On February 11, five accused in the case were slapped with the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). This is a tough law designed to tackle organised crime and terrorism in Maharashtra. All five were presented in a special MCOCA court and remanded to police custody until February 17, 2026.
The Crime Branch had requested a 15-day custody, but the court granted only a few days. Now, all arrested accused face MCOCA charges.
How the crime unfolded
According to police reports, five rounds were fired outside Rohit Shetty’s residence earlier this month. The investigation revealed that the vehicle used by the shooter was procured from Pune.
Details about the motive or the larger network behind the attack are still emerging. But authorities are leaving no stone unturned.
