MUMBAI: On Wednesday, the courtroom held eight accused — Rajan, sharpshooter Rohit Tangappa, alias Satish Kalya (42), Arun Dake (32), Anil Waghmode (42), Mangesh Aagavane (31), Sachin Gaikwad (33), Abhijeet Shinde (32), and Nilesh Shedge (40) — to blame of conspiracy, murder and committing the murder as part of organised crime. It acquitted the ninth, Deepak Sisodia from Uttarakhand, of murder but held him to blame of legal conspiracy below the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), like Rajan and the others. One accused, Vinod Asrani, died pending trial and two are nonetheless absconding.
While Jigna, Paulson and Sisodia had been out on bail, the others have been in custody since their 2011 arrest. Rajan used to be produced by means of video-conferencing from Tihar Jail, where he has been lodged since his extradition in October 2015. After the conviction used to be pronounced within the first half of the lawsuits, the courtroom defined it to Rajan in Marathi. The gangster nodded and stated, “Theek aahe (It’s okay).”
In a 599-page judgment reproduction made to be had to the accused, particular pass judgement on Sameer S Adkar stated, “The prosecution has proved that the murder of J Dey used to be dedicated in a well-planned way and in pursuance of legal conspiracy. It used to be an organised crime dedicated by means of the organised crime syndicate of Chhota Rajan. Five bullets had been fired at Dey. The murder of Dey used to be a cold-blooded act.” Special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat had examined 155 witnesses throughout the trial.
The prosecution also proved recovery of revolver, cartridges, a four-wheeler, 3 bikes, mobile phones and SIM playing cards from quite a lot of accused, including sharpshooter Kalya and Rajan. “The accused had been entitled to rebut the presumption — below MCOCA — by means of adducing important evidence but, unfortunately, as an alternative of doing so, they chose to be in denial mode,” stated the judgment.
