The 1,735-page chargesheet was filed by the crime branch in a special MCOC court.

It included various investigation documents incorporated in three volumes, an official said.

 

The evidence includes statements of 46 witnesses and statements of witnesses under section 164 of CrPC recorded before the magistrate, he said.

The confessional statements under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, a total of 22 panchanamas, and technical evidence are also part of the charge sheet documents, he said.

Two motorcycle-borne men fired five rounds outside Khan's Galaxy Apartment in Bandra in the early hours of April 14.
