Case filed against Narvekars for forgery
HERALD SPORTS REPORTER
PANJIM, DEC 24
The Mapusa Police, after much dilly dallying, registered a case on Friday under Sections 420, 468, 476 of IPC filed by Dr Shekar Salkar against Dayanand Narvekar, Sushma Narvekar, Ganeshraj Narvekar, Dr Ravindra Chodankar and P R Borkar for alleged forgery of the birth certificate pertaining to Ganeshraj Narvekar.
Dr Salkar in his report stated that there were several birth certificates pertaining to Ganeshraj and that the latter had played thrice in Polly Umrigar cricket tournament in 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons when as per the BCCI rules, a player can play only twice.
“There are certificates stating that Ganeshraj was born on 28-2-1993, 1-9-1993, and November 1994/95. That apart, the certificate produced in the first school shows the birth date as 28-2-1992,”alleged Dr Salkar. “The BCCI had also circulated a list showing that Ganeshraj is not eligible to play further in Polly Umrigar, but that he had played after changing the name to Ganesh, thus denying a genuine Goan player a chance to play for the State,” claimed Dr Salkar. “The boy’s certificate shows the name as Ganeshraj alias Ganesh,” he stated.
Dr Salkar alleged that the changes in birth certificates were done during the period when Dayanand was a minister in the Government, thus misusing his official position.
“I have procured the certificates through RTI and it is a water tight case. In one certificate it says that the child was born at home while another says that he was born in the hospital,” pointed out Dr Salkar. The birth certificates of those born in Porvorim are registered in Pilerne Panchayat, Dr Salkar clarified.
Initially, the Mapusa Police, who were reluctant to register the case referred it to the Directorate of Prosecution which opined that prima facie the case needed to be investigated. In fact, when I could not file the case in the court today as it was a holiday, I turned to the Police again and I was successful in getting the case registered at last,” disclosed Dr Salkar.
“There are several discrepancies in the birth certificates and these are of very serious nature,” concluded Dr Salkar
