In a significant development, the Mumbai Police have applied the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the ongoing investigation into the murder of local NCP leader Sachin Kurmi.

Kurmi, a prominent figure in the Byculla division of Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party, was brutally stabbed to death by three unidentified attackers while walking post-dinner in October. Authorities have successfully apprehended three suspects linked to the crime.

The application of MCOCA is crucial, as it allows confessions to be used as evidence in court and makes it challenging for the accused to be granted bail. This decision underscores the seriousness of the case and the police's commitment to seeking justice.
