Ferreira demands CBI probe in Assagao matter, urges govt to make DGP abettor in case
Panaji: Aldona MLA Adv Carlos Alvares Ferreira has demanded that the state government should relieve the Goa Director General of Police (DGP) Jaspal Singh of his duties, and that the IPS officer should be made an abettor in the Assagao house demolition case.
Ferreira made the demand following a statement given by Anjuna police inspector Prashal Desai to investigating officials, naming the DGP as one of the persons involved in the case.
“The PI’s statement has named the DGP. I had always said that there is a big fish involved, a senior IPS officer. The PI has given details of the calls which were made from time to time and how he was directed to take action or stop the action. My demand stands fully vindicated. I will demand with the chief minister that the DGP should be relieved immediately from his post. I will also demand the Government of Goa should make the DGP as an abettor to this crime,” he said.
The MLA said that IPS and IAS officers are under the control of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and hence the Goa government does not have powers to suspend the DGP.
“The chief minister should write to the Home Ministry to send a replacement. The DGP should not be transferred. Action should be taken to find out the involvement of everyone named in the statement. Time has come that Goa must see a cleansing of the system, and it is time for the chief minister to walk the talk that he will not spare anyone. The CM has also said that the government won’t allow the case to be withdrawn. This is not a case against the lady and the family, this is a case against the state and therefore it is the duty on the part of the chief minister to pursue this case to its logical end,” he said.
Ferreira also said that the case must be handed over to the CBI for further investigations as there are “high players involved”.
“I demand that all the call details between those named in the PI’s statement should be immediately obtained and their handsets should be seized so that the entire connection and the link between the players, non-players, stakeholders, contractors and bouncers can be established. There are other police officers who have been named in the statement. The role of each one has to be examined. The apprehension of small persons is not the end of the story,” Ferreira said.
“When you want to stop the rot, it must stop from the top. If a man in uniform is heading the police machinery, God help us. We will never get justice. The common man will be left in the lurch. If any statements are being given, they should come clean on these things, and on record. We will pursue this matter. I want to know who approached this compromise. All this was done to cover up the names of these senior people, high ranking officers, it is definitely to cover their tracks,” he added.
