Goa Mahila Congress Chief Pratima Coutinho has been asked to stay present at the Women’s police station on Saturday morning in connection with the complaints that she allegedly made public the identity of a minor victim of molestation.
Women’s PS officer Sudiksha Naik said that Coutinho has been asked to present herself for questioning at 11.30 am on Saturday.
Tara Kerkar of the Vasco-based NGO Savera and the Shiv Sena women’s leader Rakhi Prabhudesai Naik had filed separate complaints.
The Congress meanwhile claimed the complaints were a ploy to harass Coutinho and her Mahila Congress volunteers. Congress General Secretary Sankalp Amonkar said the parents asked for help as the police were hushing up the molestation complaint due to political pressure.
