Seven people attacked an activist in broad daylight at Caranzalem. The activist, Rama Kankonkar, has been speaking out for years on issues related to the wrongful acts of the State government and its machinery. He has raised concerns about Goa’s environment and its future. In the past, he was attacked by miscreants and also faced arrest for comments made against the present government system.
After the attack, many supporters gathered at Azad Maidan and protested against the brutal assault. People say law and order in the State is collapsing, as such daylight attacks are taking place in Goa, which is known for being calm and peaceful.
Goa Police arrested the accused and secured their five-day custody for investigation. The attack has raised questions about democracy and the suppression of voices that speak up for Goa and its people. Activists have united in protest and vowed to continue their fight against wrongful acts in the State. The mastermind behind the attack is yet to be identified, and people are demanding strong punishment for those who took the law into their own hands.
