PANJIM, SEP 11
Complaints can wait as paying obeisance to Lord Ganesha became top priority at the Panjim police which was in a preparatory mood for the beginning of the festivity on Saturday.
Conrad Menezes, whose car was stripped off stereo and other valuables, which he parked at the Kala Academy parking space, on Friday evening was told at Panjim police station that they (police) can act on the complaint only on Monday.
Speaking to Herald, Menezes, resident of Saligao said that he had parked Maruti Zen car bearing registration number GA-03-C-0545 at about 7:30pm and walked into KA auditorium to watch “tiatr.”
On returning back at about 11pm, he saw the car bonnet was open and that speakers and gear knob were robbed.
“I approached the security who expressed inability to help me saying that his duty was to ‘only’ check proper vehicle parking. He though gave a number of a security in-charge named Sandeep, but yet again in vain,” said the complainant.
He then moved Panjim police station with a complaint of theft against unknown men, where he was told that they can act on his case only on Monday. When Herald contacted the Panjim police, after 9pm, on Saturday the Hawaldar who attended the call said there was no such complaint as yet.
