Additional Sessions Judge Dharmesh Sharma discharged Brijesh and Tribhuvan of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) charges, saying the court lacks jurisdiction.

"Since court lacks jurisdiction, there is no prime facie case to frame charges against the accused, namely Brijesh Singh and Tribhuvan Singh," the court said.

Brijesh was arrested by Delhi Police's Special Cell from Odisha in 2008 and handed over to the Uttar Pradesh Police.
