Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Girish Chodankar has demanded the immediate arrest of masterminds behind the blood-curdling murder of Vilas Methar in Torda, Porvorim, on October 14.
“The political and police personnel are well aware of the masterminds involved in criminal cases happening across the State, including the Porvorim murder that happened last week. By arresting the executing personnel nothing much is going to happen. They need to arrest the masterminds and until then, these crimes will not stop. We demand that these masterminds be booked immediately,” Chodankar said.
Congress expressed the worry about such murderous attacks on local activists who raise their voice against the wrongs in the State.
Porvorim block president Shankar Phadte said, “Porvorim has become an epicenter of crime ever since a political thug got elected in 2012 and then secured a ministry in 2017. The crime rate has shot up drastically. The Salvdaor do Mundo panchayat angle also needs to be investigated immediately.”
Meanwhile, Chodankar also accused the Sawant-led BJP government of being on a rampage of looting with no bounds in the limited window that they have.
