PANJIM: In a sensational disclosure, Yaniv Benaim aka Atala says he has been framed in a political tornado to bring down the Congress government and Home Minister Ravi Naik. Though the Israeli’s name had surfaced in several drug cases including the one in which drugs from the Mapusa court saferoom were sold through nexus with the police, Atala resolutely claims that five years down the line there is no case or charge-sheet filed against him.
Rubbishing Lucky’s purported claims of having pictures of him and Ravi Naik having dinner in the former’s house or Roy Naik and Atala smoking a chillum, he questioned why she had not produced these pictures? Living in Goa and constantly shifting residence, Atala says the police keep tabs on him but do not trouble him because they know his story exactly.
