The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has invoked the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case involving the shooting at actor Tiger Shroff’s car, an official confirmed on Tuesday, according to a PTI report.
The MCOCA provisions were added after approval from the competent authority.
The case originated with an FIR registered at Juhu police station on October 19, a day after the shooting. It invoked Sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with relevant provisions of the Arms Act.
Following formal sanction, investigators invoked Sections 3(1)(ii), 3(2) and 3(4) of MCOCA, which deal with organised crime and prescribe penalties for related offences, against all the accused. So far, 11 people have been arrested.
On the evening of October 18, three men on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at Shroff’s car in Juhu. The actor escaped largely unharmed, while his driver and a passerby sustained injuries.
Police have named Anil Pandit, described as an alleged associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, as a wanted accused.
