The SP North in a press note stated that the statements given by Suleman to the media are unverified. Seven cases have been registered under his name. Four cases registered at Mapusa and Old Goa, Anjuna and Vapoi each.
While the Old Goa Police continue to investigate all aspects related to his escape from lawful custody, it must be noted that his previous and ongoing cases are either under investigation or sub judice. Some of his statements may be intended to dissuade witnesses from providing their statements to police or court, the press note said.
The accused’s mobile phone(s) have been seized and sent to the Goa Forensic Science Laboratory for forensic examination. A forensic analysis has been asked of all videos either made, received or sent from his mobile phone. Further, a detailed inquiry report has been asked from SDPO Panjim regarding the conduct of the police personnel who were accompanying Siddiqui to ascertain whether any lapses with regard to set protocol had been committed, the press note stated.
