A special MCOCA court in Mumbai has rejected the bail plea of an accused in the actor Salman Khan House firing case of last year. The firing took place in the first-floor gallery of the celebrity’s residence in Mumbai, intended to instil fear and demonstrate the Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s reach.The accused, Sonu Subhash Chander allegedly supplied the firearm used in a firing incident allegedly orchestrated by the Lawrence and Anmol Bishnoi gang, was arrested along with Anuj Thappan in April last year from Punjab. Thappan is alleged to have later committed suicide at the police quarter where he had been kept during interrogation.advertisementThe prosecution, led by the special public prosecutor, argued that Chander was part of a larger conspiracy planned by the organised crime syndicate. The prosecution cited confessional statements of other co-accused and a key witness to show Chander’s involvement.Opposing the bail plea, the prosecution asserted that Section 21(4) of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) imposes stringent conditions: the accused must prove there are no reasonable grounds to believe he is guilty, and that he will not reoffend if released. The court found neither condition satisfied.Advocate Siddhant Agrawal, appearing for Chander, contended that he was falsely implicated due to political and media pressure, had no criminal antecedents and that the MCOCA provisions were misapplied. He claimed there was no recovery from Chander, that there is no corroborative material to show that Chander had supplied the weapon to co-accused except for a vague statement. The name in the FIR, Sonu Kumar, is different from the name of the arrested person, alleged Agarwal.However, Judge Mahesh K Jadhav, looking at the confessional statement and statement of witness, said, “Documentary evidence prima facie shows the complicity of this accused in this crime”. He stressed that even one offence, if linked to the syndicate’s continuing unlawful activity, is sufficient for invoking MCOCA.Referring to precedents, the court stated, “What is important is the nexus or the link of the person with an organised crime syndicate.” Citing the seriousness of the offence and the potential risk of reoffending, the court refused to grant bail to Chander.- Ends in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
