Give justice to Agarwadekar family from Assagao

The Anjuna Police (after coming under fire for refusing to stop the house of Agarwadekars from being partially bulldozed in Assagao by bouncers with no documents) have now arrested one Pratap Rana, the driver of the JCB and a real estate dealer Arshad Khwaja, but surprisingly has still not arrested the prime accused Pooja Sharma, in whose name a deed of sale for the property stands and under whose instruction the illegal operation was carried out at Assagao. Well,  it looks like Goa is indeed turning out into another UP, as outsiders are seen coming here, taking advantage of the 'susegaad' attitude of our Goans and flexing their muscles against them in their own home state. This is really disturbing. I therefore personally feel that those involved (from prime accused Pooja Sharma, her bouncers, to the Goa police cops from Anjuna) in the above illegal operation should be immediately brought to book and punished to give justice for the Agarwadekar family from Assagao and to show that we Goans know how to get united during such type of incidents & to defend ourselves against outsiders in Goa.
