PANJIM: Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC), Panjim on Saturday issued notices to Special Investigating Team (SIT) for not filing First Information Report (FIR) filed by local activists alleging of receiving threats from Home Minister Ravi Naik, his son Roy and other police officers in the police-drug nexus case.
JMFC has asked SP Om Prakash Kurtarkar, DySP Mohan Naik and inspector Praveen Vast to appear before it on June 2 for a reply failing which the Court will decide the matter in their absence.
Social activist Kashinath Shetye and 13 others had moved the JMFC alleging that SIT was refusing to register the complaint.
Activists alleged Ravi, Roy Naik of threatening them to delete name of ‘Mr Roy’ from the complaint. They had alleged Home Minister Ravi Naik of using police force to threaten them to withdraw or delete a crucial name in the criminal complaint in the police-drug nexus case.
The complaint letter to the SIT had asked to probe the police- drug mafia nexus which included “One Mr Roy, who has a substantial presence in the drug industry as a drug lord”.
The complainants alleged that police inspector Sudesh Naik threatened them on directions of the home minister, Crime Branch Superintendent of Police Mangaldas Desai and DySP Shamba Sawant, to withdraw the complaint or atleast delete the name of “Roy”.
The applicants alleged that they were placed under police surveillance and frequently threatened if they do not comply with the instructions. But if they obey the terms, PI Naik had assured ‘they would be rewarded handsomely for their compliance.’
