How many months have passed since the murder of Cipriano took place at the Panjim police station? The Goans can sit and count the months and years which will run before Cipriano gets justice. The fire seems to have died down. The police department is waiting for such an opportunity to reinstate the erring officers or the murderers of Cipriano.
Where are the NGOs who were dancing up and down during the initial break out of the news? Are they all tired of running after the case or following up the case? Dear NGOs if you are really acting from the bottom of your heart do not let this case go by just like that and should not be like the Konkani saying “Khoim Ghelo Khoim Nam, Kitem Addlem Kaim Nam” Remember that the spirit of Cipriano is relying heavily on you and the Goan public to get himself justice.
My dear Goans, the soul of Cipriano still cries out for justice. He is languishing around helplessly trying to get justice to himself, whilst the murderers of Cipriano are living a lavish life under suspension. They have nothing to worry about. Sandesh Chodankar and his marauding gang who snatched the life of Cipriano are enjoying themselves.
It will not be long before the killers of Cipriano will be reinstated soon with the help of their Godfathers like the uneducated Home Minister Ravi Naik. I would not be surprised if these killers are declared as innocent men of the uniformed corrupt police force of Goa.
Atmaram Deshpande, the spokesperson of the Goa police department has not come out with any statement on the case lately. The progress of the case is not at all brought out before the public of Goa. It should be well remembered that Atmaram Deshpande had said in his last press conference that the department would be out with the details of the progress made in the case.
Can Atmaram Deshpande justify his silence over the case or is it a well calculated move by the police department to push the case into dustbin slowly and surely?
DySP Bossuet Silva has given and excellent and unbiased report of his enquiries. But has the report been followed on? I feel that this report too has gone into the dustbin.
This is one case that should have been handed over to the CBI/NIA right in the beginning and not to the committee chosen by the department made up of local and corrupt police officials. The Goa police have not only made a scapegoat of the law but also the public as well. They are only pulling wool over the eyes of the public by promising a good investigation when in fact there is no investigation going on of the case at all.
If an officer like Chandrakant Salgaoncar is appointed to investigate the case the result will be similar to the one of the police-politician-drug nexus case, which was totally sabotaged by Chandrakant Salgaoncar.
Where is Manohar Parrikar, who used to take advantage of every situation for his own personal gains? If Parrikar was truly a person like he portrays himself to be, why is he silent over the case of Cipriano? Why is he not following up the case. The opposition can bring down heavy weight on all involved if they want to and given the intellect of Parrikar, he can certainly act and get justice for Cipriano. But it can be only done if he really loves justice and honesty resides in his conscience.
Well we might as well have lot of ASSURANCES from the ever assuring chief minister who is not fit to be a peon in any office that action would be taken against the erring officers and so on. One cannot depend on a chief minister who cannot be trusted even for a second.
Goans and all the NGOs who were involved during the crisis of Cipriano’s death, should once again come out on the streets and demand justice for the soul of Cipriano. Otherwise just remember that this will be repeated as the saying goes “Today for me, tomorrow for you”. With the corrupt judges in the Indian system there is very little hope for Cipriano to get justice.
It is time that the spirit of Cipriano should act himself and haunt his killers day and night till they turn mad and lose their mentality a lifetime and start running in the streets naked with the words “I Killed Cipriano” coming out of their mouths.
Bravo Menino, the fire of this case has indeed died down and the corrupt police department of Goa will take advantage in forgiving Sandesh chodankar and his gang. I hope the Goan ngo's will take a note of this article and keep the fire going till ciprian gets justice and his death is avenged I can say tooth for tooth
ReplyDeleteYes Senhor Menino de Valpoi, keep the flame of justice burning. Do not let the Goans forget the incidents that have happened and gone away by washing in the rain. I am happy that at least there is somebody who cares about Goa and the Goans and that is Niz Goenkar. Atmaram Deshpande will do nothing as he gets his Haftas and a fat salary to dance to the tunes.
ReplyDeleteBravo Menino, you have not forgotten the same issues that you published and your readers fought for. Hope we can ring back in the ears of the Corrupt Police department and find out the status. I hope knowledgeable readers will shed more light on the current status of the case.
ReplyDeleteAt this rate if people do not get justice then no one will have faith in the alw and everyone will settle their own scores. This system is going to create vigilantes and hitmen on hire.
ReplyDeleteRemember the olden days when blame for all bomb blasts was put on the ISI? Things have not changed much, but they are a "little" different. Today, the answer to "Who killed?" would be "I, yes I".
ReplyDeleteThis case will linger for decades to come and will die a Natural death.The authorities are hoping the case will be forgotten as the sleeping daily media in Goa
ReplyDeleteOnly a political revolution by our leaner-ed young Goan generation is the answer to Goa,s problems. Yes we certainly can do it BUT do we have the will?
ReplyDeleteTo Menino and his team, PLEASE keep the flame burning. We cannot let this issue die down.Unless the culprits who killed Cipriano are brought to justice' his soul will not rest in peace. His life was snatched away from him by the men in uniform and they have to pay the price for their criminal act.
ReplyDeleteThe police-criminal nexus has been out in the open for long. They are waiting for public memory, proverbially short, to forget their crime of custodial death. That is why the upright policeman was asked to conduct the enquiry and report. His report will go into the same cupboard as the body of Cipriano, some day the skeletons will tumble from that cupboard. The rest of the probe cannot be in the hands of the same upright man, because only crooks can save fellow crooks.
ReplyDeleteIn Goa we have to apply Darwin's theory: The survival of the fittest. Custodial death under police, no justice to the victim; ministers engaged in corruption, money laundering, drugs dealings, scams in lands, scams in water tanks, these the police and the ministers are the fittest people in Goa and they are above the law.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for Cipriano and his family ,may his soul rest in peace. I believe and pray to God so that Menino's last paragraph to come true. It is so sad to see the sad state of our state and if we watch everything by closing our eyes, the future is bleak for us. so we have bring revolution in Goa very soon.
ReplyDeleteMenino at least you Niz Goenkars, are trying to keep the case alive. In Goa it has become a forgotten issue, the media has no steam to keep such issues alive. Just like toe police-politicians drugs nexus case all evidence will be destroyed and the case will thrown out of the courts. The police, politicians and the judicial system are as corrupt as ever, each one scratching the others back. Long live Niz Goenkars.
ReplyDeleteIf the Mothi Dongor criminals can get away with a light punishment for vicious crimes committed, The murdering police will certainly walk freely from justice due to technicality.
