The stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) will be invoked against repeat offenders in cases of cow-slaughter and cow trafficking, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday told the legislative assembly in Mumbai.

Sangram Jagtap of the NCP raised the issue through a calling-attention notice and mentioned one Atiq Qureshi who is an accused in several such cases, while demanding stringent action.
