MAPUSA: The Mapusa Police have filed a chapter case with the Mapusa Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) over the reported scuffle between a player and a referee during the final of GFA U-20 TACA match on Thursday at Duler Stadium.
One may recall that Sporting Clube de Goa’s Trejoy Dias lost his cool after being sent off in the match against Goan FC and punched the FIFA referee, Tejas Nagvekar. The Mapusa Police had earlier registered a non-cognisable offence against the player.
The Mapusa Police has decided to register a chapter case on receiving the medical report from the District Hospital at Mapusa on Monday. The medical report states that it can be a grievous injury but failed to confirm the same.
The Mapusa PI, Kapil Nayak, told Herald that the medical report received from the hospital says it can be a grievous injury.
“The medical certificate is saying 50-50 per cent and they are not sure that it is a grievous injury. Until and unless the type of injury is proved to be grievous, no cognisable offence can be registered. In the future, if in the final medical certificate it is proved then further action will be initiated. We will be filing a chapter case in this matter,” said Nayak.
The player will have to appear before the Mapusa Sub Divisional Magistrate on an assigned date and time to sign a bond of good behaviour after a show cause notice is issued.
