About The Case
Subhash Singh Thakur, an aide of Dawood Ibrahim and a prime accused in the infamous J.J. Hospital shootout case, was serving a life sentence in the Fatehgarh Central Jail in Uttar Pradesh. While he was identified as a key conspirator in the murder of the Virar builder, previous attempts to arrest him in this case had been unsuccessful. Following orders from Vasai-Virar Police Commissioner Niket Kaushik, a special team was dispatched on Tuesday to take custody of Thakur from Fatehgarh Jail.
Thakur was brought to Mumbai airport under heavy police security at midnight on Monday. After a medical examination at Tembha Hospital in Bhayandar, he was produced before the MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) Court in Thane this morning. Tight security was maintained across the court premises.
The hearing took place before Justice V. G. Mohite. Public Prosecutor Sanjay More argued that Thakur played a pivotal role in the conspiracy to kill Samay Chavan.
The Public Prosecutor requested seven days of police custody for further investigation, which the court granted. Thakur will be produced in court again on December 22. Public Prosecutor Sanjay More stated that the interrogation is likely to reveal the details of the financial transactions involved and the exact amount paid to carry out the murder.
