The 28-year-old Allan was found dead under mysterious circumstances near a restaurant along the Baga-Arpora Bridge on August 25.
The victim’s father Antonio D’Souza in his complaint has given names of four persons alleging that they had killed his son. Allan was working in Dubai and had returned to Goa on August 22, to attend a family court matter.
The Anjuna Police had earlier told the victim’s family that Allan had met with an accident and when the family members reached the primary health centre at Candolim, they found no major injury or accident marks on the body.
The victim’s father had suspected that his son died of unnatural causes and not by motor vehicle accident as informed to him by the police.
He further stated that his son’s two-wheeler was found parked 200 metres away from the spot where the body was recovered by the police.
The Anjuna Police have registered the case under Section 302 read with 34 IPC and are conducting further probes.
