PANJIM: Police Constable Chandru Gawde would have been married by July 9. As he lies on his hospital bed, sinking into a situation where the worst is likely, he has reportedly said enough to a magistrate, to expose how police officials torture their subordinates.
The Special Judicial Magistrate also recorded the statement of the constable wherein, sources claimed, that the victim has named three Crime Branch officers who would harass him which led him to take an extreme step. Constable Gawde, 33, consumed ‘ratol’ last Friday night but has just about survived till now.
DySP Deu Benaulikar confirmed that Gawde’s condition is critical.
Gawde was rushed to a private hospital in Panjim where he was under direct supervision of the senior doctors. His health however began deteriorating and he had to be shifted to GMC on Monday evening where his condition is still critical.
Sources say the constable has alleged extra work and constant harassment by seniors in the police statement who even refused leave for his wedding.
“He was abused by a senior police officer and was being constantly harassed. He was always burdened with work not considering his off day as well,” said police sources.
Benaulikar when contacted said the constable has alleged ‘extra work’ in the police inquiry. The officer however refused harassment at work place.
Niz Goenkar correspondent in Goa learnt from his close friends and relatives who spoke on condition of anonymity that Police Constable Gawde was constantly harassed by Chandrakant Salgaoncar of the Crime branch specially on collection of Hafta’s due to him. Our reporter also got some news that even the SP of the crime branch too was harassing him on the say of Chandrakant Salgaoncar. They still wanted to say more but feared reprisal from the Police and the crime branch and kept mum, thought they did not disclose their names.
Its an organized racket run by the Goa phoolish(read foolish) headed by the matka agent Rabid naik.

Mr. Gawde would have really taken a few with him.

The police and the politicians are the real goondas of Goa as both are in illegal money spining business.
ReplyDeleteI was already half way through writing an article on the honest policemen who still exist in Goa here and there. These top SP's and what not have turned goondas by learning from the goondas themselves how to retort money and that is what they are doing. The top brass thinks these small police are also taking money, since the harrasment. "Chorak fuim Chan'neacho usko. Hi got zalea amchea Goenchea Chor Pulisanchi"
ReplyDeleteAt the time of posting this comment, sadly , that Constable has passed away.
ReplyDeleteowever he has given a Statement to a Judicial Magistrate.
He has named 3 senior Police officials.One being highly placed and a Dy. Sp.
One of the known culprits from the Crime Branch that is shady and corrupt
is Chandrakant Salgaonkar.
Lets hope it will be him,so that he is finally nabbed & punished.
Regretably ,in Goa,many lower ranked Constables are not treated with hunam rspect & dignity.
They are also made to act as runners,bribe collectors & mules for their corrupt bosses.
Yeah thats what I mean ma man. Exactly what he should have done.. Community service.. Taken a little of the filth with him. But I guess he is a good man so will never think of doing anything drastic and wrong. Rest assured if I ever am on the dying stage will definitely do the duty for my Goa. Lets all think like so and put our Deaths to good use .....Ha...Ha....Ha..

Panaji, Jun 28 (PTI) A constable attached to Goa Crime Branch who consumed
poison alleging harassment by his seniors, died today, police said.Constable
Chandru Gawas (33), who was working as a driver for a senior Crime Branch
officer was being treated at the government-run Goa Medical College and Hospital
after he he consumed poison last week inside the Crime branch office at Dona
Paula near here."The case of unnatural death was registered but further
investigations would be carried out to ascertain what led him (the constable) to
take the drastic step," said Superintendent of Police Arvind Gawas.Special
judicial magistrate Maria Mascarenhas had taken the dying declaration of Gawas,
who has reportedly accused three seniors, including an officer of the rank of
deputy superintendent of police, of harassing him.The SP said that police
were yet to receive the report and all the names in his dying declaration would
be investigated.According to the sources close to Gawas family, he was
supposed to get married in the first week of July and was upset as his leave
application was rejected.Gawas was rushed to hospital after he started
vomiting inside the crime branch office itself on Friday.
I have tears in my eyes. At least, he did not have a family but was hoping to get married and raise one. Now that he is gone, I am sure the top brass will not even shed a tear but will be looking out for another scapegoat. Who is responsible for taking care of these things. Can any responsible minister for this department come forward and answer??? Our hearts go to this Constable's families and hope that justice will be done.
ReplyDeleteI am sure after his passing away, the files where he has made his confession and recorded, will disappear. Must have already been.
ReplyDeleteNOT JUST GAVDE BUT THE EVEN THE TOP COPS ARE UNDER PRESSURE
ReplyDeleteTHE TOP COPS THEN PRESSURIZE THE LOWER CADRES
REASON IS=== THEY PAY MONEY TO MINISTERS -- THE TOP COPS ARE THAN PRESURISED == THE PRESSURE IS THEN ON THE LOWER COPS-- THAY CANT BEAR IT -- AND HENCE THE FALLOUT
That is without a doubt, It is more of a trend in Goa, our so called Freedom Fighters are blinded to the evil facts of corrupt ministers and Police.
ReplyDelete25% of the police force in Goa are engaged in doing service of the politicians or the Seniors. Some are even used as conduits for ammasing the ill-gotten wealth. Due to fear, these police fellow of the lower cadre ablige or else treated like animals.
ReplyDeleteGood Formula GOBOR!! That's exactly what happens.
ReplyDeleteYou bet, all he had to do was get hold of a Gun and Gun down all those F$$king Dirty Cops, he surely would have been a People's Hero, not that he is not right now, hope his death will not go in vain.... RIP
ReplyDeletejust have a feeling, in the end, that's whats going to happen!
ReplyDeleteSad but True.... this in the end will only turn out to be another Cipriano case with no end, and the real culprits continue doing what they do best, just hope his death does not go in vain and those 3 names he has given don’t disappear and “Justice be Done” may his soul RIP!
ReplyDeleteThat is because if they talk too much against the ministers their dole stops and they will die an early death.
