PANAJI
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday demanded a thorough inquiry into the victim in the alleged rape case involving former minister and Congress Panaji by-election candidate Atanasio Monserratte going missing.
BJP Goa Unit President Vinay Tendulkar in a press conference said that the rape victim in alleged rape case involving Babush Monserratte went missing is matter
of concern.
Congress has fielded Monserratte for upcoming Panaji by-election scheduled to be held on May 19. The decision on framing charges against Monserratte will be delivered on June 3 by local court, which has heard arguments on framing of charges
against him.
“The court is about to decide on the matter. The lady is an important witness in the case. Where the lady went is still not known. It was reported that she had no money with her while leaving the convent where she was staying. Police should do a thorough inquiry into matter”, said Tendulkar.
Tendulkar demanded that the State government should trace the girl, and provide her required help, as she is important witness in the case related to Monserratte.
“Her disappearance during such crucial time is a cause of concern,” Tendulkar said.
