The Goa Police must be complimented and praised for the way they cracked the Baina dacoity. The way they went about it using technology, skill, experience, persistence, etc is really good. Saying that, I think that the Goa Police are generally competent and can do a good job, when they are given a free hand by ruling Ministers and they have no other vested interests. Political influence, manipulation, pressure is the main reason the Goa Police fails in many other cases. Take for example the brutal attack (in broad daylight) on Rama Kankonkar who named 2 senior Goa BJP ministers as possible mastermind suspects. It is very hard to believe that the police really can't nab the mastermind; which is only possible if they are senior ministers in the Goa BJP Cabinet.
