Last week Mr. Michael Feranandes was accused of directing a CCP truck driver to dump garbage in the Hindu crematorium at Ribandar. The vehicle was latter attached and the truck driver arrested by the Old Goa Police.
Meanwhile, the State Election Commission has also been urged to order a probe into the huge disproportionate assets acquired by Mr. Michael Fernandes during the last five years while his wife was a Corporator at the CCP in the Babush Monseratte group.
Mr. Michael Fernandes has allegedly been acting as the real corporator while his wife was Corporator only on paper.
