Why drag Fatorda's name into Rs 130-crore scam?

The Goa government has reportedly said that the Rs 130 crore scam is being investigated by the Economic Offences Cell (EOC) of the Goa Police.

But the big question is why is the fair name of 'Fatorda’ being dragged into the scam? Isn’t Fatorda a part of Goa? Are the investors who have been duped only from Fatorda? If not, does the scam not relate to the whole of Goa?  It is learnt that the Goa Forward Party (GFP) and Fatorda MLA Vijay Sardesai has welcomed the government’s commitment to unravel the investment scam and arresting the accused in London. However it does not seem proper to drag the fair name of Fatorda in the investment scam. It does not seem that the scam is localized to Fatorda even though the scamster could be from the locality.
