MARGAO: Special public prosecutor Subhash Dessai on Thursday sought custodial interrogation of Yuri Ferrao and Herculan D'Costa, who approached the session’s court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with a case registered against them for allegedly assaulting an assistant engineer of electricity department at Carmona on June 20.
Desai said that the accused have committed a grave offence by assaulting the public servant while he was discharging his duty.
Engineer Alvito Fernandes had complained to the Colva police that the duo had assaulted him with kicks and fist blows while he was in the process of restoring power supply in Carmona. The power supply was cut off on Monday after a banyan tree fell on the high tension lines following gusty winds.
Assistant engineer Santosh Lolienkar, who lead a delegation of engineers to the South Goa police headquarters, told TOI on Thursday that fear has gripped engineers who work at odd hours. "So far the government has not acted on our demand to arrest the two persons involved in assaulting the engineer. Despite the incident, personnel of the electricity department worked to restore electricity in the area," he said. – TNN
