After backlash, victim gives confusing stance on house demolition; activists decry family's u-turn

Panaji: Agarwadekar family confuses the State about the aftermath of the Assagao house demolition; give no clear reply on the complaint withdrawal or help in rebuilding and blames the media; also defends absconding accused Pooja Sharma.

Activists have expressed utter disappointment and concern over Agarwadekar family's U-turn on the house demolition, apprehending it might lead to a dangerous precedent.
