On the basis of a complaint against my brother, Pritesh Prabhu, four constables from the Margaon police station arrived at our home late at night, accusing us of hiding him. They searched our home and harassed us mercilessly. The distress caused by this ordeal led my father to take his own life. I demand a thorough investigation into this matter

Pritesh Prabhu, also a Margao-based advocate, faces serious allegations of molestation and stalking, charges brought against him by a female colleague. These accusations have not only put him under scrutiny but also led to his hospitalization—a move that has complicated the police’s attempts to secure his presence for questioning.
As the investigation deepens, the situation grows more enigmatic. Sources indicate that a senior police officer reported tensions escalating after the complainant began protesting at the Margao police station, questioning the delay in Pritesh’s arrest. This protest spurred the police to take swift action, splitting their forces to both the hospital where Pritesh was admitted and the Prabhu family residence.
It was in the aftermath of this visit that Advocate Jayant Prabhu’s tragic decision appears to have been made. The exact nature of the interactions that night, and the extent of the alleged harassment, remain shrouded in uncertainty.
As authorities piece together the puzzle, the legal community is left grappling with the devastating loss and the unsettling questions that linger in the wake of this tragedy
