<h1>MCOCA invocation to target organised mob violence, with strict criminal investigation and administrative follow-up underway.</h1> The state has initiated the process to invoke MCOCA for an incident in Beed involving the abduction and assault of a youth by a group, characterising it as organised mob violence rather than caste-related, and directing strict criminal action irrespective of political affiliation; this signal accompanies executive oversight of regional development projects, agricultural inputs, medical college development, and an airport feasibility study presented at the District Planning Committee meeting.
