Goa woman death case: Pacheco's wife summoned by Crime Branch

Press Trust Of India
Panaji, June 12, 2010

Crime Branch today issued summons to the wife of former Goa Minister
Fransisco Pacheco, who is on the run after being probed for the death
of his close friend Nadia Torrado.

"Viola has been summoned to the Crime Branch on Saturday at 10.30 am,"
a source close to Pacheco's family said.

Police raided Pacheco's house at Betalbhatim, 40 kms away from here,
and confiscated half a dozen computers.

The summons were served to Viola soon after the raid.

Police are investigating the death of 28-year-old Nadia Torrado, who
died allegedly after consuming poison on May 15.

The Crime Branch has accused the former Tourism minister of being
involved in the crime.

The minister's close friend and officer on special duty Lyndon
Monteiro has been made co-accused in this case.

Pacheco and Monteiro are on the run since June 6, when they were
called for questioning by the Crime Branch.

Sessions court has already rejected their anticipatory bail petition.

Police have said that both would be arrested once they appear before
investigating authorities as their custodial interrogation is required
to solve the mystery behind Nadia's death.

Response:

Bravo Joao Barros-Pereira and Soter for speaking out! 

It is also perplexing that there are some overseas Goans, like the normally
rational George Pinto who are xenophobic regarding this issue and believe
that all foreigners must have their property confiscated even if bought
legally!
 
In my experience not only have many foreigners restored dilapidated property
using local craftsmen, but also started and/or supported local charities.
 
It is true that many foreigners have fallen foul of the law after seeking
legal representation and obtaining their sale deeds.  What is abhorrent is
that builders and lawyers who were responsible for the scam, are to go
unpunished but the victims are liable not only to lose their life savings
but be fined as well.

The very first property under threat by the Enforcement Directorate is
Basilisk Lodge (http://basilisklodge.com/english/index.html) in Anjuna which
was bought for Rs 4 lakhs in 2003. I visited the house earlier this year to
check out the restoration work for myself.  

Now the property has been attached - see

[Goanet] Goa Sudharop: Flip flop for Goan Youth

2010-06-11 Thread George Pinto
Hi everyone:

Goa Sudharop's theme for 2010 is YEAR OF THE GOAN VOLUNTEER SPIRIT, and our 
Youth have stepped up to the plate by organizing a volunteer drive. They 
challenge you to take flipflop challenge for youth.

- Try walking barefoot outdoors for a day this summer or winter. Now imagine 
young children having to walk barefoot, on hot roads, on unclean and possibly 
unsanitary streets in Goa. Together we can team up and send flip flops to these 
children, they not only offer a healthier alternative to walking barefoot, but 
are a fun and simple way to offer a child or toddler a feeling of ownership 
while adding to their confidence and dignity.

The 2010 flip flop campaign has 4 drive options:

1. Flop Drop:  We will have youth from different parts of the San Francisco Bay 
Area hold a flipflop drop off in their area where people could drop off flip 
flop donations. If a drop off is held in other parts of the U.S. I would 
suggest donating an additional $1 to help cover costs of shipping.

2. Flipflop global: Donate online at Goa Sudharop website (click on DONATE on 
the Home Page), a suggested minimum donation of $3 donation will easily cover 
the feet of a child or toddler with a pair of flipflops.  $15 would make 5 
children happy.

3. Our team will also contact organizations such as Old Navy, Target, and other 
possible businesses, to see if they would help support this cause.

4. Hold a booth at a local event that will permit guests to donate.

The Goal for 2010 is 100 pairs of flipflops

Proposed by Kiran Shastri – Goa Sudharop Youth Leadership Team

Over 2000 in 6 compartment means over 350 are jammed packed

of about 75 only.
Imagine travelling in such compartment by about 5 time more than 
it’s capacity.
Of the 2000 travelers in GC,  there would be at least 500 new

Cops raid missing Goa ex-minister Mickky Pacheco's residence
NDTV Correspondent, Updated: June 11, 2010 19:51 IST, Panaji

There was high drama and tension at Betalbatim village, constituency
of Mickky Pacheco as the police arrived to begin its search at the
residence of the former Goa Tourism Minister - now, the prime accused
in the mysterious death of his girlfriend Nadia Torrado.

A computer hard disk and documents were seized, but there is still no
trace of Pacheco who has been missing for a week now.

His supporters claim the NCP leader is being targeted by the state
Home Minister Ravi Naik. Pacheco, they say will stay in hiding unless
a CBI inquiry is launched.

"He is on this soil. Right here with the people. He is not hiding
behind the law. But the crime branch is a missionary of the
government. We want the CBI to inquire," said Godfrey Rodrigues,
Pacheco's associate.

The police's failure to find Pacheco is becoming a huge embarrassment
for the government, which is something the Chief Minister chooses not
to admit.

"It is a matter of investigation. This incident is not affecting my
government," said Digambar Kamat, Goa Chief Minister.

The political atmosphere in Goa is often so acrimonious, that every
time a high profile leader is charged with a serious crime, invariably
his political rivals are accused of vendetta and of using the police.
With this case, this notorious reputation has only been strengthened.

although I have no doubt, there are tons of excellent Goan musicians in 
Toronto!!  And, incidentally, since I am a drummer, the white drummer

[Goanet] Delhi makes an exception for Goa; allows 2 airports within 150 kms range

2010-06-11 Thread Goanet News
Goa gets 2nd airport; Greater Noida next?
11 Jun 2010, 0654 hrs IST,ET Bureau

NEW DELHI: The government has approved setting up of a greenfield
international airport in Goa, relaxing the 150 km minimum separation
norms. The move would pave the way for similar airports projects near
cities, such as Delhi, that are beginning to face air congestion.

The decision on second airport at Goa was taken by the Cabinet that
met on Thursday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh. As per the decision, the international airport would come up in
Mopa area of Goa through private participation.

The new airport will not come at the cost of suspending air operations
at the existing Dabolim airport, information and broadcasting minister
Ambika Soni told reporters after announcing the Cabinet's decisions.
"The cabinet reviewed its earlier decision to close down the existing
airport at Goa once the commercial operations started from Mopa," she
said.

There was apprehensions among the locals about the possibility of the
Dabolim airport being closed down once the new one started operations.
In 2000, the civil aviation ministry had proposed that Dabolim airport
should be closed down once an airport starts operations in Mopa. The
existing airports at Hyderabad and Bangalore have been closed after
the private greenfield airports started operations there.

The government's decision assumes importance as it could pave the way
for similar projects coming up in cities like Delhi where the 150 km
norm is being hotly debated.

In fact, the Uttar Pradesh government has proposed international
airport in Jhevar at Greater Noida, which falls within the 150 km
range of Delhi's existing IGI airport. "A group of ministers (GoM) is
evaluating the proposal and likely to take decision soon," said an
official of the civil aviation ministry, asking not to be named.

"There is no binding regulation to follow 150 km norm. The government
can relax provisions considering the need for a second airport in any
other Indian city," the official said. The government has already
proposed two such airports at Navi Mumbai (near Mumbai) and Kannur in
Kerala.

The Delhi International Airport (DIAL), led by Bangalore headquartered
global Infrastructure major GMR Group, has taken over operation and
modernisation international airport of Delhi. The company had
expressed concern over second airport in the vicinity of Delhi as it
would have impacted its revenues.

My dear Gabe,

If #1 is true, then the Hospital is in double trouble. (a) It has the
absolute responsibility to report a suspicious matter to the police.
Being scared is not part of the medical lexicon; (b) It has violated
patient confidentialityIF it did so without specific consent from

The other issue is that the delay and diversion (caused by the

[Goanet] Pacheco falsely implicated in woman death case: Monteiro (Indian Express)

Pacheco falsely implicated in woman death case: Monteiro

Posted: Fri Jun 11 2010, 16:19 hrs   Panaji:

Lyndon Monteiro, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Fransisco Pacheco,
has said that the former Goa minister is being falsely implicated in
the death case of his close female friend as he had demanded
investigation into the involvement of a senior politician’s son in the
police-drug peddler nexus case.

“It is pertinent to note that recently Fransisco Pacheco, in his
capacity as tourism minister, had written a letter to Chief Minister
about rampant use of drugs in Goa, the police and political nexus with
the drug dealers and its affect on tourism,” the petition filed by
Monteiro before the High Court reads.

The OSD, a close aide of Pacheco, in his anticipatory bail plea, has
said that the minister had also called upon the Chief Minister to
probe the involvement of the son of a influential politician in the
said drug racket.

“The same was not liked by the other cabinet colleagues who are trying
to cover up and save the said politician’s son as is also evident from
the recent statements made by Chief Minister himself,” the petition
said.

 Monteiro said “the death of Nadia Torrado is therefore being used as
an issue to nail the minister and falsely implicate him, who has since
resigned and has even been replaced by a new person.” The 28-year-old
woman’s death, allegedly by consuming poison on May 30, has brewed
trouble for Pacheco and Monteiro, who are currently on the run.

“As the minister is not traceable, applicant (Monteiro) who was the
Officer on Special Duty and who has been acting in his official
capacity is being harassed by falsely accusing him of destroying
evidence and implicating him in the alleged crime,” the petition
reads.

[Goanet] Is XXX an Agent of Mine Owners trying to buy Mineral Resources cheaply?

2010-06-11 Thread rajendra kakodkar
Nandkumar through his writing has expressed concern against environmental, 
cultural and social wrong doings in Goa. He has worked for tribals, deprived 
and needy. He was student leader and continues to be a leader amongst thinkers. 
His scientific mind is appreciated and admired by many including me. 
But every one has likings, priorties, constraints and weakness. When Digamber 
became chief minister, Nandkumar praised him. Perhaps that has constrained 
Nandkumar not to speak against mining accesses for last three years, because 
Digamber is the only person responsible for them. Digamber sidecasted Charles 
Correa Regional plan despite GBA’s follow-ups (grossly ineffective efforts). 
Nandkumar in his felicitation speech at Gomant Vidhya Niketan in Margao 
expressed that Digamber would solve all problems related to Land sharks in six 
months. But Digamber dragged the issue for three years and of-late has become 
even bigger Rule flouter than Babush. I have not come accross Nandkumar 
uttering a word on this leave alone denouncing Digamber’s actions and 
inactions. However, after GBA started losing ground and VGG took over the 
initiative, Nandkumar has started raising Land Shark issues, but without 
blaming the TCP minister.
Now, Nandkumar wants the CM, Who is the Mines Minister of Goa for last 11 years 
(He must by now know mining nitty gritties as much as Mine Owners and more than 
anyone else in Goa) to attack sand miners. CM is not taking any steps to rein 
in illegal mining and excesses in iron ore (mining without leases, leased mines 
operating without relevant approvals, legally leased miners digging outside 
leased area, ore transport flouting rules, laws and court orders, under paying 
royalties). Iron Ore creates nuisance 100 times or even more than the sand 
mining. 
Sand mining activity yields subsistence earnings running in few crores 
annually, whereas iron ore mining yields Windfall profit of Rs 10,000 crore 
annually. For comparison Budgeted revenue of entire state of Goa is Rs 2700 
crore for 2010-11. Doudts arise, why Nandkumar is turning Nelson’s Eye to Iron 
ore mining, which creates 100 times more problems than sand mining? Is it to 
divert public attention from a problem which hurts Digamber? Or is it because 
people residing in Western Goa are less aware of the Woes of Eastern Goa? 
Nandkumar is not a cut-n-paste internet scientist. I can recollect his study 
few years ago, of Taleigao plateau trees called Sanver, the timing of breaking 
of its bondas releasing of winged seeds and how it can be calibrated as a lead 
indicator of rain activity in Goa. And therefore I do not expect that Nandkumar 
is ignorant of woes of people in Rivona, Quepem, Sanvordem, Usgao, Bicholim, 
Shirgaon, Advalpal, Honda, Sanquelim, Pale, Dhrbandora or Molem. He in many of 
his articles has also high-lighted the importance of aiming the eye of the bird 
as Arjuna did. 
Considering this, I am quite certain that he is fully aware that the main 
problem nagging Goa and which does have potential to create a mass unrest if 
not Naxalite overtones is iron ore mining and transportation thereof. People 
dying or getting disabled under the wheels of mining trucks, the pollution 
menace faced by both poor and well-to-do, the futility of innumerable 
complaints to administration and police, the neglect by politicians, media 
censorship with an eye on government advertisements and flouting of reliefs 
given by the judiciary are recipes for a major up-rising.
Take the case of Carmo Cardozo, an aged mother of three. Ten years ago, she 
built a comfortable house on Rivona-Jambaulim road. She had all comforts and a 
peaceful life till mining transport started in Rivona some five years ago. 
Today she says her life is like hell. She just touches any part of her house or 
any furniture and shows her hand coated with mining dust. Her sons come home 
after day’s hard work and help their mother to mop up the house-floor of the 
mineral layer. When they eat, it constantly strikes their mind that iron-ore 
dust is present in their food. They eat but don’t relish. When they sleep, the 
bed linen has to be dusted several times. The sleep is disturbed. Trees around 
her house are all brown. The cross, which she paints white every Christmas 
becomes reddish-brown a month later. The biggest disdain is that her 
innumerable complaints to police and administration were unheard. Anyone can 
ring her on 9421193858 and learn her plight
 directly from her or visit her house to see for real. 
What is stopping Nandkumar from reaching for the bird’s eye? Is it the stance 
on Digamber, which he inadvertently got committed to, believing the promises 
Digamber displayed at that time? Nandkumar is a practical person and to my 
opinion he would not shy away from admitting his judgement errors. History 
tells us that even the best philophers of the World have erred on Politicians. 
There is room for excusing Nandkumar for his silence. The arrival o

There are more than a few missing links:

RESPONSE: According to T.O.I., yes it was more than Ratol -
consumption also of 20x0.5 mg of Alphrazolane.

Seems to me this was a slow moving case until the Women NGO activists got
involved. Perhaps had it not been for them, all would have been quite on the
Western Front. Alarm bells were not ringing when the patient was first
admitted to Apollo Hospital;  the Hospital perhaps too scared to go against
a Goa Minister - so obviously they leaked the details to the NGO's.

Now with probing, the details are coming to light; If I am not mistaken, I
read somewhere that the ex-Minister stated that his only mistake was coming
to the aid of the Woman - a friend indeed is a friend in need. That he had
second thoughts now is another matter - self preservation, seems to have
taken a priority.

The Police have much, much more to do and they need further interrogation to
tie up the loose ends. The exact details of the Post Mortem and injuries to
the body will in due time be disclosed, under cross examination I am sure.
Until that time we shall have to rely on what statements the Police allow
us.

All that has been revealed recently are the statements made to the Court to
deny anticipatory bail. More might be revealed in the High Court on Monday's
hearing of Monteiro's Anticipatory bail.

[Goanet] Some thoughts on Yugen

2010-06-11 Thread Venantius J Pinto
There is a unassuming word in the Japanese language— yugen (幽玄), an
aesthetic concept that is anything but simple, expresses a deeply “refined
elegance” (Zeami): indeed, context dependent. It contains in its Kanji a
swath of signifiers that convey a complex of aesthetic references: Vagueness
not ambiguity, subtle yet profound, nuanced yet gently hinting an attitude,
a quiet elegance, “shadows within emptyness” (Jun ’ichirou Tanizaki). What
could these words be describing. There are those objects, ideas, sounds,
darknesses, shadows around us that our minds can barely pin down. The
sensate experience they evoke can hardly be explained in absolute terms,
leave alone even in a relativist manner.

Yugen pervades all Japanese arts include the budo of the martial arts. A
word to signify “a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe…
and the sad beauty of human suffering.”(Ortolani, 325). Ortolani, Benito.
The Japanese Theatre. Princeton University Press: Princeton, 1995).

Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki, in Zen and Japanese Culture (New York, 1959),
pp.220-21 (CHECK)
Yugen is a compound word, each part, yu and
gen, meaning “cloudy impenetrability,” and the
combination meaning “obscurity,” “unknowability,”
“mystery,” “beyond intellectual calculability,”
but not “utter darkness.” An object so designated
is not subject to dialectical analysis or to a
clear-cut definition. It is not at all presentable to
our sense-intellect as this or that, but this does
not mean that the object is altogether beyond the
reach of human experience. In fact, it is experienced
by us, and yet we cannot take it out into
the broad daylight of objective publicity. It is
something we feel within ourselves, and yet it is
an object about which we can talk, it is an object
of mutual communication only among those who
have the feeling of it. It is hidden behind the
clouds, but not entirely out of sight, for we feel its
presence, its secret message being transmitted
through the darkness however impenetrable to
the intellect. The feeling is all in all. Cloudiness
or obscurity or indefinability is indeed characteristic
of the feeling. But it would be a great mistake
if we took this cloudiness for something experientially
valueless or devoid of significance to
our daily life. We must remember that Reality or
the source of all things is to the human understanding
an unknown quantity, but that we can
feel it in a most concrete way.

As with Zeami’s yugen, there is Rikyuu’s wabi (a sense of tranquil
solitude), and Basho’s sabi. A world of aesthetics where all the forms
evolved in the Muromachi period or descended directed from it.

Yugen is exceeding hard to convey—it eschews the linear thought processes,
and cannot be grasped, however much the logical capacity of our minds; but
it does manifest upon encountering creativity, within ourselves, others, and
insentient objects. And of course, creativity too is a source hard to
fathom. Yugen in that sense is the becalmed self free of anxiety, strategy,
machinations, doubt—a self that expresses a form, a shape, a space, a
movement, discovers a formula—which truly appears to evoke wonder in the one
who experiences. An idea of mystery pervades the comprehension and feeling
of seeing into something of the unknown that remains unknowable.

[Goanet] Goa Forest department pressure Tulsidas Velip to backtrack on Tiger claims to Prime Minister

2010-06-11 Thread sebastian Rodrigues

Three member team from Goa's Forest Department on June 9, 2010 evening 
visited residence of Tulsidas Velip and exerted pressure on him to 
backtrack on tiger claims he made in his letter to Prime Minister of 
India on March 30, 2010.

The officials first visited his family 
in forest village of Cavrem, Quepem and threatened his family. Then 
after contacting him over the mobile met Tulsidas Velip and took him to 
the venue in nearby forest where Tulsidas claimed tiger visit in March 
2010. After reaching the place forest officials tried their level best 
to convince Tulsidas that it was not a tiger but some other animal like 
Leopard or the Cawrem villagers themselves have killed the Bison and 
wanted Tulsidas to sign on statement forest officers had prepared. 
Tulsidas replied to them in forest that since the statement is in 
English he is not able to understand it and would like his lawyer to 
have a reading about it. Forest department officers got infuriated and 
threatened Tulsidas Velip of dire consequences. Tulsidas refused to sign
 on statement till the end and asked them the copy of draft to so that 
it can be shown to a lawyer. Officers refused and after that told 
Tulsidas that they are going to call him to the forest department office
 in Canacona over the phone to sign the statement anytime within next 
few days and he has to oblige. Two officer's names are unknown while the
 third one is Babani Naik.

The game plan of forest offcials is 
clear: deny that tiger visits Cavrem forest so that mining companies can
 be gifted forest lands. Goa Forest department is notorious for their 
with mining companies and Tiger is giant thorn on their way. Draft Goa 
Regional Plan 2021 even has a list of mining companies who are given 
forest land in Goa for mining companies. Mining companies and Forest 
department have ongoing honeymoon in this relationship. Threat to 
Tulsidas Velip is clear additional proof in this regard.

The text
 of letter that Tulsidas Velip wrote to Prime Minster of India is 
available on the links below:

The
 behavior of Goa's Forest department well deserves all round

thankfulness to them, with this day named in their honor - Foreigners Day.
We Goans of course are a product of two cultures, Eastern and Western, and
this fusion of two cultures and way of thinking in the 21st century is our
real strength and something to fill us with a great sense of pride. The

[Goanet] Mickky's anticipatory bail plea rejected

2010-06-11 Thread Gabe Menezes
Mickky's anticipatory bail plea rejectedTNN, Jun 11, 2010, 05.52am IST
   MARGAO: Rejecting the anticipatory bail plea of former tourism minister
Francisco “Mickky” Pacheco, 46, the Margao additional sessions court on
Thursday stated that the injuries on Nadia Joelle Torrado's body indicate
that the rodent poison might have been forcibly given to her or she might
have been induced to consume the same.

“The material collected by the prosecution ruled out the possibility of
(Nadia) consuming the rodent poison by mistake which intensifies the gravity
of the offence. The poison was consumed at 9am and till the time of
admitting her to the hospital at 3pm, the deceased had a history of vomiting
on six occasions,” read the order.

“The truth can be revealed only by specific interrogation and not otherwise.
The presence of Pacheco in the house of the deceased (Nadia) has not been
properly explained during interrogation,” stated the order pressing for his
custodial interrogation and leading to the rejection of the anticipatory
bail.

The order further stated that the material collected by the prosecution
points to the involvement of Pacheco— who has been named prime suspect in
Nadia's death—and therefore it cannot be said that the prosecution is trying
to unnecessarily harass him as contended by his lawyers. It also noted that
the prosecution has collected sufficient evidence to show that Pacheco was
with Nadia in her house on the previous night and that he alone will be able
to disclose what transpired between them. It added that Nadia's family
members are not disclosing the true facts regarding the injuries on her
body.

“Discharge papers of Apollo Victor hospital in which she was first admitted
point out that the patient was shifted to JupiterHospital at Thane, Mumbai
against medical advice. The report shows that the victim was admitted with
the history of consumption of 20x0.5 mg of Alphrazolane and unknown quantity
of zinc and phosphide rodenticide,” the order ssaid refering to public
prosecutor Sarojini Sardinha's arguments. The order also said that Sardinah
had told the court that the deceased consumed the entire contents of the
Ratol tube which is clear from the report of Apollo Victor hospital and the
doctor's statement who first attended to her.

She added that Nadia's subsequent statement before the SDM at Mumbai that
she mistakenly took some part of Ratol paste on her toothbrush is incorrect
and appears to have been given under duress or threat. The public prosecutor
submitted that there were multiple contusion injuries on the forearms, legs,
lips, chest which were opined as 12 to 13 days old by the doctor from
Chennai and thus it relates to the day prior to the date of consuming Ratol.
The prosecution contended that Nadia's statement recorded by the SDM at
Mumbai is contrary to her earlier statement recorded in the presence of the
constable, earlier investigating officer and her mother and most probably in
Pacheco's presence. According to the order the prosecution further submitted
that the circumstances in which the relations between Pacheco and Nadia were
brought to the notice of the investigating agency create grave suspicion
about the involvement of Pacheco, who is high profile and has the power to
influence the witnesses and tamper with the material evidence if kept at
large.

Sardinha had pointed that Pacheco was interrogated by the crime branch but
was initially reluctant to cooperate and disclose the relevant facts,
leading to the interrogation remaining incomplete and hence he was called
the next day but failed to appear and was found absconding. The police have
searched for him, but till date Pacheco has not been traced.

According to the order, Sardinha had also pointed out in her arguments on
Wednesday that Nadia's widower Winston Barreto clearly stated in the divorce
proceedings as well as in a case under Section 498 A of IPC filed against
him by Nadia that their marital ties were destroyed due to Pacheco.
Meanwhile, Barreto withdrew his anticipatory bail application on Thursday.

Barreto had applied for anticipatory bail before the sessions court at
Margao apprehending arrest in the case registered under Section 309 and
Section 306 of IPC by the Maina-Curtorim police. However in lieu of the
matter now being handed over to the crime branch, Barreto withdrew his plea
on Thursday.

Could Nadia's widower be cutting a deal with the cops?
2010-06-11

Winston Barreto knew he was going to be questioned, because even though
divorce proceedings were on, his marriage had not completed the mandatory
seven years. If a wife dies or commits suicide before seven years of
marriage, the husband is investigated. Barreto applied for anticipatory
bail, but now inexplicably he has withdrawn his plea. He showed up at the
Crime Branch and sat down for five hours of questioning.

Barreto would be in a position to throw a great deal of light on the case
since he says, his estranged wife was still in touch with him and seemed
highly disturbed just before her suicide attempt.

Added to that, Barreto has already named Mickky Pacheco as the sole reason
for the break up of his marriage. This was put down in words in his written
statement to the divorce proceedings brought against him by Nadia Torrado.
The divorce proceedings too, he concluded were instigated by Mickky Pacheco.

If he turns state's evidence against Mickky Pacheco, the police could have
assured him of not bringing charges against him for abetment to his
estranged wife's suicide in a quid pro quo agreement.

*PRESS RELEASE   11.06.2010*





The All India Democratic Women’s Association, Goa State Unit calls upon the
Government of Goa to provide a safe and crime free environment for women in
the state. AIDWA condemns the inegalitarian and chauvinistic regime which
provides political and state patronage and protection in a systematic manner
to the perpetrators of crimes against women. The latest incident of a
Minister in the Government absconding in a case where he is wanted for
questioning in connection with the death of a young woman only exemplifies
the impunity with which persons with political patronage and influence use
the same. AIDWA asks the State Government including the police to take all
measures necessary to ensure that in the cases of Scarlett, Mahanand, the
German girl  involving the son of another minister of the present
government,  John Fernandes or other cases of crimes against women and
children including the present case in question, the guilty persons are
caught and punished and that justice is both done as well as seen to be
done.

[Goanet] LYNDON MONTEIRO SHOULD BE SACKED

2010-06-11 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) Vice Chairman Mr. Lyndon Monteiro
should be immediately sacked inview of the prime facie evidence against him
in Nadia Torrado’s death. A person who has been absconding after being
linked by the Crime Branch to Nadia’s death cannot not continue as a Vice –
Chairman of a Government Corporation.

It is  now very clear that instead of using the post to promote Goa as a
tourism destination, Mr. Lyndon Montero had misused his position as Vice
Chairman of GTDC and OSD to former Tourism Minister to support and abet the
illegal misdeeds of Mr. Micky Pacheco. All the disproportionate assets and
real estate investments of Mr. Lyndon Monteiro over the last three years
need to be probed.

The crime branch should record the statements of all officers who have held
the post of Director of Tourism and Managing Director of GTDC during Mr.
Micky Pacheco’s tenure as Tourism Minister and also that of Goa Tourism
Secretary  Dr. M. Modassir.  Mr. Micky Pacheco’s henchmen need to be
interrogated and if the statement of one of Nadia’s very close friend Nadira
Sheikh from Margao is recorded more facts would be unraveled.

Nobody is above the law. Micky should face the music as any other accused.
Over the years as a Minister he has abused, kicked and slapped so many
including some government officers. The time is up for this former Minister
who should have been out long time ago.
