Ex-GPCC chief demands action against police officer over case 'remark'

OLD GOA

Reacting to the statement of a police officer who stated that the incident of infant's feet found at Mandur is 'not a serious case', former GPCC president Girish Chodankar demanded action against the officer for making such an insensitive statement.

"This is an insensitive remark by the officer of the Goa Police and he should be immediately taken off duty. We can't accept such insensitive remarks by a police officer on such sensitive incidents, where limbs of infant have been found," Chodankar said. 

He further demanded that the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, who also holds the Home Portfolio, should clarify whether he subscribes to this statement made by the Goa Police. 

"But first action needs to be taken against the police officer, who will not investigate this case thoroughly as he finds it not serious. The Director General of Police should quickly act on this," Chodankar demanded.
