Delhi Court Criticizes Police Over Delayed Arrests in MCOCA CasePreviousNext

A Delhi court criticized the city police for submitting a superficial report in a Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) case, where two accused continued committing serious crimes, including murder, for years after MCOCA was applied but were arrested only in 2026. The court ordered a detailed inquiry and action against officials for delays. Three other accused remain at large, and investigations are ongoing.
