PANJIM: The Goa State Police Complaints Authority will on Tuesday 23rd Nov at 10.30 hear the preliminary arguments on the complaint filed by Adv. Aires Rodrigues against the three police Inspectors who had handled the complaint against Goa’s Health Mr. Vishwajit Rane in the threat to kill case.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues has in his complaint before the Goa State Police Complaints Authority stated that Old Goa Police Inspector Mr. Francisco Corte and then Old Goa Police Inspectors Mr. Vishwesh Karpe and Mr. Gurudas Gawade had grossly misconducted themselves, abused their authority and acted malafidely to protect the accused Minister Mr. Vishwajit Rane.
Adv. Rodrigues has submitted that though the complaint against Health Minister Mr. Vishwajit Rane was filed on 31st July 2007, that the then Old Goa Police Inspector Mr. Vishwesh Karpe registered the F.I.R only 22 days later.
Adv. Rodrigues has stated that though the then Old Goa Police Inspector Gurudas Gawade had on 23rd August 2008 given an undertaking to the High Court that Mr. Vishwajit Rane would be charge sheeted, yet on 30th December 2008 Inspector Gawade filed a report before the JMFC, Panaji to try and close the case against the Health Minister.
Adv. Rodrigues has in his complaint further stated that when the Panaji JMFC issued summons to Mr. Vishwajit Rane to remain present in court, that the Police returned the summons back to the JMFC after a month stating that the accused Health Minister Mr. Vishwajit Rane could not be found.
Adv. Rodrigues has stated that on 21st July 2010 though the High Court had directed the Old Goa police to proceed in the case against Mr. Vishwajit Rane under Sec 155 of Criminal Procedure Code that on 7th August 2010 the current Old Goa Police Inspector Francisco Corte registered a non-cognizable case against the accused Mr. Vishwajit Rane and instead of seeking orders of the Magistrate to proceed with the case Inspector Corte had asked him (Rodrigues) to approach the Court.
Adv. Rodrigues has stated that it was very evident that over the last three years the Old Goa Police Inspectors have gone out of the way to shield and protect Health Minister Mr. Vishwajit Rane from facing criminal prosecution. Adv. Rodrigues has also submitted that the Police had failed to ensure that the law has to be the same for all and that nobody can be above the law.
The four member Goa State Police Complaints Authority headed by Justice Eurico Da Silva, a retired Judge of the Bombay High Court has been set up under the directions of the Supreme Court and is empowered to look into all allegations of any police misconduct. The authority has the power to either recommend departmental action or criminal proceedings against erring police officers.

ReplyDeleteDotor Aires, why don't you appoint Advogad Valanka Alemao to defend you? She can beat Cuntak any time. Not a noble idea?
ReplyDeleteGoa has a very well groomed criminal syndicate in political circles known as untouchables. The courts are just another playground where all these political and law enforcement criminals are awarded the winning medals.
ReplyDeleteReal waste of time. Another aquittal is already in the offing. This is just a white wash.
ReplyDeleteThe Gua police are the worst. That is because they have paid lakhs to become police officers. They are worse than the common criminals.
ReplyDeleteThey don't know how to uphold the rule of the law. For them the law is what the illiterate-goonda politicians tell them.
What happened to the case of Monster Rat and the stormng of the police station in Panjim. Another case which is swept under the carpet.
Goans arise, get rid of such corrupt criminals. Fight for the rule of the law. Join Niz Goenkar. We can bring in a change. A Goa which will be governed by Goans.
