Mumbai, Mar 1 (UNI) A special court today remanded two suspected gangsters, owing allegiance to D K Rao gang, to judicial custody till March 14, for their alleged involvement in the murder of an undertrial robber near Sewri Court in June last year.

Special Maharashtra Control for Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Judge Mridula Bhatkar remanded suspects - Ganesh Ambore and Subar Kamji - to judicial custody. The duo were produced before Ms Bhatkar for extension of their remand this afternoon, as her brother and MCOCA Judge Abhay Thipsay, who was presiding over the case, was on leave.

Accused Ganesh Ambore told the court that their life was in danger in Thane prison and he wanted to give a confessional statement.

Judge Bhatkar granted the permission and directed the investigating agency to keep the accused in Arthur Road jail till tonight and produce him before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in the morning tomorrow to record his confessional statement.

The accused were picked on February nine this year on charges of murdering an undertrial robber Devendra Krishna on June 26 last year, just outside Sewri Session court while the deceased was on his way back home after attending the Court date.
