Court rejects discharge petitions of Dhalasamant brothers

A court today rejected the discharge petitions filed by gangster brothers Sushant and Sushil Dhalasamant.
In their petitions, the brothers, who were arrested in January 2016, had pleaded innocent, claiming that they were framed by the police.
Charges under the Arms Act were slapped on them by the police.
The SDJM court judge Bijay Kumar Dash rejected all their petitions and fixed November 20 for the framing of charges against them.
The charges would be framed under the Arms Act and trial would commence after that.
Soon after their arrest, the Commissionerate Police had arrested some of their associates and seized a huge cache of arms and ammunition from them.

The police claim that the associates had confessed that the firearms were supplied to them by the brothers.
