Police accused him of demanding Rs.1 crore from a Delhi-based businessman in 2006.

The Special Cell slapped charges under MCOCA against the accused, alleging that during the probe into a cheating and forgery case against Brijesh, it was found the offence was an outcome of an organised crime syndicate being run by him and his associates.

The police alleged that Brijesh was involved in 39 cases of murder, attempt to murder and extortion among others and was associated with Dawood. Most of the cases were registered in Uttar Pradesh.

The court noted that police filed chargesheet against the accused in only one case. The court said MCOCA can be invoked if the chargesheet against the accused was filed in more than one case under the territorial jurisdiction of Delhi. It added the provisions of MCOCA were not extended to offence committed by accused in other states.
