Accused Snehal in Valpoi Police Custody
PANJIM, JULY 26: Yielding to the pressure of Opposition Leader, the Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat on Monday assured the House to order an independent inquiry and to take decision within two days about two cops attached to Valpoi police Station who allegedly did not investigate rightly into kidnapping of 16-year-old, Utkarsha Parab, who died of poising, in GMC, on Sunday morning.
Leader of the Opposition, Manohar Parrikar raised the subject during “Zero Hour” and demanded that Police Inspector (PI) Shivram Vaigankar and Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) Terence Vaz should be immediately placed under suspension for prima facie negligence of duty.
Utkasha, a resident of Brahma Karmali in Valpoi was abducted from her school, Bhumika Higher Secondary School, Poriem on July 16 by her aunt Sneha Gaonkar. She alleged to have forcibly fed the girl with sweets laced with poison.
Questioning the credibility of two policemen in-charge of investigating, Parrikar questioned why the accused was not arrested earlier. He also pointed out that minor girl was not medically examined reflects casual approach of the police. Responding to the demand of the Opposition’ that two cops be placed under suspension, the Chief Minister said he has asked DIG to look into the issue and ask for proper report.
However Parrikar said it is futile exercise as it means officer who is accused of negligence of duty is asked to give report about himself with a full scope to suppress information that might go against him. A least, the government can do it is to transfer two cops to reserve force and reinstate them if found non-guilty, said aghast Parrikar as Kamat did not respond to his demand with equal seriousness.
The Speaker Pratapsing Rane also said there has to be enquiry.
Agitated Leader further said during last session of the Assembly he had complained against Vaigankar’s involvement in illegal mining. A written complaint was filed against the PI for threatening a councilor of Bicholim municipal council but no action was taken, he said indicating nonchalant approach of the government.
Investigation is on -- The Chief Minister Digambar Kamat told the House that investigation into assault on National Students Union of India (NUSI) President Sunil Kauthankar is underway and police has released sketch of assailant had been issued by the police. Fatorda MLA Damu Naik had raised the issue during Zero Hour on Monday saying police has been totally ineffective in controlling incidence of crime in the State.
