Former tourism minister Mickky Pacheco's Betalbatim house was raided by the police today amidst rumours that he was detained by the ivestigating agency. The police confiscated around eight computers from his residence, besides some files.
The earlier charge that Mickky had extra-marital relation with Nadia is now taking a different shape with "professional" relationship coming under the scanner.
Winston Barreto, deceased Nadia's husband, in the meanwhile has confirmed that Benaulim MLA, who was compelled to resign after Nadia's death, had extra-marital relation with his wife. He has reportedly repeated almost 80 per cent of the allegations he has made in his divorse suit.
Meanwhile, rumours were afloat throughout the state today that Mickky was arrested by the police. Several police officials, though refused to confirm the news, also did not confirm it.
Interestingly, Mickky failed to file his anticipatory bail application in the high court today, after it was rejected by the district and sessions court. The anticipatory bail application fileld by his "close associate" Lyndon Monteiro would be now heard on Monday.
In the meanwhile, an Orissa-based maid servant who worked at Nadia's Loutolim residence, will be interrogated by Goa police to unearth further evidence in the death case.
"We will be sending a team to Orissa to take the statement of the maid who was working with the family between January to April this year," a police official said.
Nadia's family reportedly had three maids working at their place and only one of them was present when she allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison.
Police said efforts are on to get the statement of this maid servant, who could be a key witness in this case.
Another maid, who arrived at her place, a day after Nadia's death, has already deposed before the police giving the statement that her mother, Sonia, asked her to burn the evidence related to the case.
"We will have to interrogate the maid servant from Orissa, who has been working with the family for a long time," the official said.
The Crime Branch expects that the maid will provide information on Pacheco's relation with the family.
According to police sources, they are investigating into the "professional" relationship between Mickky and Nadia, whose suicidal death has resulted into Mickky facing charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and destruction of evidence.
