Law & order has collapsed under BJP govt: Ferreira
Mapusa: Aldona MLA Adv Carlos Alvares Ferreira said that goonda raj prevails in the state, and law and order has collapsed under the BJP government. He also said that criminals are getting political protection.
Speaking on the Socorro incident where a person died following a brutal assault on June 18, Ferreira said that it is a matter of shame for the government that such incidents are occurring in a constituency represented by the BJP.
“This incident shows that the government cannot control law and order. There is doubt that there is a thug and under this thug this goonda raj is going on. We don’t want such types of thugs in Goa. We also don’t want such thugs in Aldona constituency, we will throw them out,” he said.
Ferreira said that these goondas are getting political protection and that’s why police action is lacking.
“This incident escalated because the person died, had that not happened it would have been a case of grievous assault. That’s when police were under pressure to arrest the accused,” he said.
He called for a thorough police investigation and the motive for the assault.
“I heard that the person who died after the assault was accused of jewellery theft and he was brought to the police station and the ornament was returned. I heard this was revenge. But the way he was assaulted till he died this is not acceptable. It appears that there was an intention as the accused waited to commit the crime that is murder. Police should conduct a thorough investigation, the motive will be in the hands of the police. The intention will spell out from the motive. This is not an ordinary fight,” he said
