They were charged under Indian Penal Code Sections 392 (robbery), 394 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing or attempting to commit robbery) and 34 (common intention) as well as provisions of the MCOCA.

More said 13 prosecution witnesses were examined in the case. The judge in his order noted that the prosecution has proved all charges against the accused beyond reasonable doubt and they need to be convicted and sentenced, More said.
