The MCOCA, which has proved effective against organised crime in Maharashtra, has been extended to Delhi by the Union home ministry and would be operational within a fortnight, Delhi Police Commissioner Ajai Raj Sharma told a press conference.
Stating that fight against organised crime was an 'unequal' one, he said, "The Act would give the Delhi police solid powers to deal with organised crimes. Its implementation will make the life of criminals in the capital difficult."
Among the several 'extraordinary powers' entailed in the Act are protection to the witnesses, confiscation of property obtained as a result of organised crime, interception of phone conversations and action against those harbouring or abetting crimes.
