Goa: Goa has always been the preferred hotspot for
parties, enjoyment and unwinding.
Indian and foreign tourists swing to blasting music at
various beach parties, flouting all time restrictions
and violating court orders.
The "fun" not just limited to the blatant disregard
for laws, it usually translates into uncontrolled
usage of drugs and narcotics.
CNN-IBN got access to one such party at Congress MLA
Jitendra Deshprabhus residence.
All complaints by locals to the police to intervene
went futile, not because the police couldnt do much,
but because they were just not allowed to.
Deshprabhu was seen using his political position to
prevent the police from carrying out investigation.
A radio-taped conversation, available with CNN-IBN,
shows just how blatantly police are influenced into
inaction by those in power.
Here is an excerpt from the conversation that took
place between Deshprabhu and the local Police Control
Room:-
Police Officer: Yes, Malik Hawaldar here.
Deshprabhu: MLA Deshprabhu talking. My property has
been blocked by police personnel and jeeps. They have
entered without permission.
Police Officer: All vehicles?
Deshprabhu: Tell that liar, thief of Anti-Narcotics
Cell (ANC), Mr Allan D'sa, his persons have robbed
money from all foreigners here. Narayan Gawas
lathi-charged the foreigners.
Police Officer: When?
Deshprabhu: Few moments back. I have given this report
to DIG Ujjwal Mishra. Tell those ANC people that the
party is going on at Jitendra Deshprabhu's property.
After making sure that his message gets across to the
police and the anti-narcotics cell, the MLA then
turned his attention to the people who had complained
about the party going on in his premises.
Deshprabhu: How many calls have you got that the party
is going on?
Police Officer: From Pernem?
Deshprabhu: Pingurlekar of Pernem is a sarpanch. He
has complained. He complained to you because he has
not received the money he was asking for.
Then, he dealt with matter at hand: the party that's
going on within his property. He told the police
control room to withdraw all their vehicles and men
from there.
Deshprabhu: Hello...
