VASCO
Fearing arrest in the FIR registered against him by the Verna police for the Utorda incident, former minister Mickky Pacheco on Wednesday knocked the doors of the South Goa Sessions Court, saying he is ready to cooperate with the investigating as and when required and that his custodial interrogation is not at all necessary.
The Sessions Court has fixed hearing on Mickky’s anticipatory bail petition on Friday.
In his bail application, Mickky said he apprehends that he may be arrested by the Verna police in a cognizable and non-bailable offense by the police on account of a false complaint filed by his political opponents.
He submitted that he has already suffered at the hands of his political opponents and has been facing trial by the media in cases by the crime branch and CBI, which could not prove any allegations, adding that both the cases were closed and never went to trial.
In his application, Mickky contended that he has not committed any offense
under section 336, 504 and 506 (II), saying he is not involved in any criminal act in this crime.
Saying that attempts are made to tarnish his image on social media as well as in the national media, Mickky stated that just because he is convicted and jailed in one case does not mean he is a convict in all other cases, adding that all cases have to be proved in court with evidence.
