Goa CM Pramod Sawant(File Photo) VASCO: The crime branch and police are doing their duty and all those involved will be arrested, said chief minister Pramod Sawant while speaking on the attack on RTI activist Narayan Naik.
“Two cases with the Verna police station — attack on RTI activist and triple suicide in Zuarinagar — have been given to the crime branch as the government wants fast track action in them,” Sawant said. He said that the accused in Naik’s case will be in jail. While the mastermind in the case, Ram Gopal Yadav alias Kariya, has been arrested, the two men who attacked Naik with iron rods are yet to be traced.
The chief minister’s statement comes after demands for arrest of the remaining accused in the case. There have been allegations that they have political patronage. The case was handed over to the crime branch soon after summons were issued to Sancoale panchayat leaders by the Verna police.
On Wednesday, panchayats minister and Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho condemned the attack. “Such incidents will not be tolerated. Police must take stern actions against the culprits,” he had said. Source:timesofindia
