The AAP has demanded that the top brass of the Goa police put in all the resources at their disposal to investigate the desecration cases. r“These incidents, which have begun to worry Goans, must be investigated and the culprits brought to book at the earliest,” Venzy said. rHe took an exception to the demand made by newly-appointed GPCC President Shantaram Naik to hand over the desecration cases to the CBI, saying the Goa police should investigate the cases and nab the culprits.r“Instead, Shantaram should demand that cases pertaining to IDC, EDC and Rahejas be handed over to the CBI,” he said.
