PANJIM: In a shocking move, the Calangute Police Inspector Paresh Naik has been transferred to Goa Reserve Police, Altinho within 24 hours of him sealing the nightclub ‘Down Town’ and arresting bouncers who allegedly beat up two local youth. Police sources confirmed that a sincere and upright officer has been transferred in the aftermath of his taking action against the night club.

Initially the complaint was not registered by the Calangute police.
