MUMBAI, Feb. 18 -- A special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court on Tuesday extended till February 23 the police custody of five Pune residents who allegedly provided logistical support for the firing incident outside film producer and director Rohit Shetty's 10-storeyed residence in Juhu on February 1. The five accused - Swapnil Sakat, Samarth Pomaji, Siddharth Yenpure, Aditya Gayaki, and Asaram Fasale - were arrested from Pune on February 2. On Tuesday, they were produced before special judge Mahesh K Jadhav upon completion of their earlier police remand. The court accepted the prosecution's submission that keeping them under further remand was necessary for joint interrogation with seven accused arrested last week from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana including alleged shooter Deepak Sharma; and to subsequently probe financial and logistical leads. The prosecution told the court that interrogation of the five accused had led to the other seven arrests; and the 12 arrested accused were part of two separate modules - the men from Pune procured a scooter and firearms and delivered the same in Juhu, while the other group picked up the scooter and weapon and executed the attack. Defence counsel Ajinkya Madhukar Mirgal, along with Omkar Inamdar and Sachin Zalte-Patil, opposed the plea, saying the police had already had sufficient time to interrogate the accused. "The police already had their custody for 17 days. What else must be uncovered now with extended custody of these accused," Mirgal submitted. During the hearing, accused no. 1 Swapnil Sakat retracted his statement, claiming it was obtained under coercion and that he had been asked to sign it. The court recorded the submission during the proceedings....
