NDTV reports that the individual charged in the recent firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff will be prosecuted under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.
A source close to the investigation told NDTV that the person accused of discharging a firearm in an incident linked to Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has been earmarked for trial under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). The decision reflects the authorities' view that the case involves elements of organized criminal activity, warranting the stricter provisions of the law.
MCOCA, originally enacted to combat organized crime syndicates, allows for extended detention periods, special courts, and harsher sentencing. Legal experts note that invoking the act signals a serious approach by law enforcement, though the final charge sheet will determine the exact applicability.
Police have not disclosed the accused's identity or the exact circumstances of the firing, citing ongoing investigations. The court will now decide on bail and other procedural matters under the MCOCA framework.
