Mumbai, October 27, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Mumbai Police have invoked stringent provisions of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), 1999, against all accused arrested in connection with the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.
According to an official statement, MCOCA provisions have been added to DCB CID case number 143/26, registered on October 19, 2026, under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
The police said approval to invoke MCOCA was granted by the competent authority on October 27 under Section 23(1)(a) of the Act. Accordingly, Sections 3(1)(ii), 3(2) and 3(4) of MCOCA have been added to the case against all the accused.
The case was initially registered under the BNS and the Arms Act. Police said the investigation had been expedited in view of the alleged organised crime links associated with the incident. Further investigation is underway.
Earlier, the Mumbai Crime Branch said its investigation had pointed to alleged motives of extortion, establishing gang dominance and spreading fear among the public.
According to investigators, the accused allegedly have links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Police have claimed that the firing was part of an attempt to strengthen the gang’s influence, intimidate people and obtain financial gains through extortion.
The Crime Branch has alleged that the accused were operating as members of an organised crime syndicate and that the incident was not an isolated act but part of a planned criminal conspiracy.
Investigators have also alleged that illegal weapons were used in the attack and that the conspiracy involved an inter-state network operating across locations, including Delhi and Mumbai.
The investigation is continuing to establish the roles of the accused and the circumstances surrounding the alleged conspiracy.
