PANJIM: People in the vicinity of Geeta bakery, which is located a few meters from the Panjim police station, raised an alarm on finding that a person, who according to them looked similar to the Vasco sexual assault suspect’s face sketch released by the police, was near a bar on Friday. 

“A person walked out of a bar at about 12 pm. He looked like the suspect in the updated sketch. People shouted that he be caught, but he ran away,” a local bar owner said.  The mysterious person was accompanied by another man. Police were immediately summoned but could not trace him.
