MARGAO
Concerned citizens of Margao on Saturday called on South Goa district Police chief, SP Tikam Singh Verma with a plea to register FIR in connection with what they termed as forced recording of a Muslim minor boy to utter “Pakistan Zindabad” “Pakistan ki Jai” and tutored anti-India/ communal statements.
The delegation impressed upon the district police chief to register offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Juvenile Justice Act, and Goa Children’s Act, besides seizure and child protection measures.
The decision to call on the SP, South after the citizens pointed out that the police has registered FIR against an unknown person when the culprit was very well known to the police, adding that even the sections applied in this matter suggest that absolutely no criminal act had taken place.
The delegation drew attention of the SP to the incident that occurred in Margao wherein a minor Muslim boy was tutored and bribed to do a scene and forced and unduly influenced by an adult person. They further alleged that a forceful video was made and later circulated as a hate video on social media.
The minor boy was made to chant “Pakistan Zindabad & Pakistan Ki Jai”; and repeat tutored statements “against India”; affecting India sovereignty via a vis India and Pakistan.
