MARGAO: A day after his arrest in Margao, Colva police have started interrogations of accused Anwar Sheikh (20) to ascertain his role, if any, in the murder of Seraulim senior citizen Constancio Da Silva in January last year.
In another development, Colva police moved Judicial Magistrate First Class, Margao, seeking permission to handcuff the accused fearing he would escape from custody while being taken to court for remand.
The accused, who was arrested by Sawnur-Karnataka police in a case of theft a month ago, had escaped from jail, leading to suspension of three Karnataka police personnel.
Police said the accused is believed to have done his schooling till Std 5th in a city-based school and was staying with his married brothers at Borda till they sold the house.
After his escape from jail in Karnataka, Sheik is known to have come back to Margao a week ago and was taking shelter around Sonsodo. Margao police, who were keeping a track on his movements, tried to nab him at Krishna Classic restaurant, Borda but the accused managed to escape after jumping from the first floor. He was nabbed at Pajifond on Wednesday evening with a motorcycle stolen from Quepem.
He is wanted by Maina-Curtorim police for theft of two bikes and by Margao police for theft of one bike.
Meanwhile, Colva PI Nilesh Rane said the accused was interrogated on Thursday but refused to divulge any details. The accused was earlier interrogated by SP-South, DySP-Margao and Margao PI Sudesh Naik.
