VASCO: In a shocking incident, three persons were mercilessly attacked with sharp weapons and wooden logs just outside the Vasco Police Station entrance on Wednesday evening. One of them suffered serious injuries while other two managed to escape with minor injuries. Their lives were saved only after they ran inside the police station.
According to the information, Victim Santan Corrira, resident of New Vaddem and two others including Nazeer Ahmed and Tayabali Syed, both residents of New Vaddem, Vasco, were assaulted by a gang of 15 people who later absconded from the site after assaulting them.
Santan Corrira, who is also the complainant in the case, claimed that he had gone to police station to seek some details about a youth arrested by Vasco police on Wednesday, thus before he could enter into the police station premises, a gang of over 15 people rushed towards him and started assaulting him and his colleagues.
“I had gone to the police station to ask about the arrest of one Sameer Shaikh allias Chammu by Vasco police. A gang of youth who had previous enmity with Sameer Shaikh approached me and started asking questions as to whether I had gone to rescue Sameer Shaikh. Before I could reply to them, they all started assaulting me and my two
colleagues with sharp weapons and wooden sticks. To save our lives we all ran inside the police station and reported the matter to Vasco police. However, before police could rush to the site, they all fled from the site,” Santan told reporters before going for medical examination.
Since Santan’s injury was serious he was later referred to GMC Bambolim.
Meanwhile, soon after the incident was reported, Vasco police swung into action and sent a team on a look out for the accused persons who have been identified by all three victims.
“As the victim and his colleagues have identified about six people among others in the group involved in assault, we would arrest all of them and would take serious action against the culprits,” Vasco SDPO Dysp Suchita Desai said.
