Pune Police Crack Down on Gajanan Marne Gang with MCOCA Invocation

The Pune Police have announced plans to charge notorious criminal Gajanan Marne and his gang under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, following an attack by the gang. Authorities will also seize properties and vehicles linked to the accused as part of the investigation.

The Pune Police have escalated their actions against the infamous gang led by history-sheeter Gajanan Marne by invoking the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). This move, announced by Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, comes after an alleged assault on an employee of Union minister and Pune MP Murlidhar Mohol by Marne's gang.

Commissioner Kumar disclosed that steps will be taken to seize the properties and impound the vehicles of the accused, contingent on vehicle information from the Regional Transport Office (RTO). This decisive action aligns with arrests made in conjunction with the attack in the Kothrud area.

The police appeal to the public to file complaints against Marne's gang reflects a push for community involvement in curbing organized crime. A special cell has been established for this purpose, adding to the comprehensive strategy to neutralize criminal activities linked to the gang.
