Chassis, engine of motorcycles fished out from Macazana well!
HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, MAY 13  
This may sound unbelievable and may just be the tip of the ice berg. Even as the Margao police arrested one Vijay Kulal, a native of Karnataka, presently staying at Macazana in connection with the theft of a motorcycle, locals from Macazana and Curtorim netted a prize catch – an engine and a chassis of two motorcycles which were dumped in a drinking water well at Macazana this afternoon.
The incident came to light after locals suspected foul play as they spotted a thin film of oil spread on the water surface in one of the wells. Not taking any chances, the locals, out of sheer curiosity and against the backdrop of the arrest of the accused from the village, put a hook inside the well, only to find something fishy.
Their suspicions came true as two locals Rui and Santarita who entered the well found a motorcycle chassis and an engine of another motorcycle dumped inside.
“We immediately intimated the Maina Curtorim police as the catch would help them in the investigations of the motorcycle theft case”, said Simon Barreto.
He said the local youth somehow found something suspicious as the accused arrested in the Margao motorcycle theft case were using the same route everyday.
“It was the curiosity of the locals that helped to detect the two motorcycles dumped into the well”, he said, adding that the police should come down heavily on the accused persons and take the investigations to the logical conclusion.
He demanded that the politicians should stop shielding the accused persons and warned that the local youth would take action against the accused if the police and politicians try to protect the accused.
Incidentally, the Maina Curtorim police have said the police would interrogate accused Vijay Kulal in connection with the detection of two motorcycles from a drinking well at Macazana.
Meanwhile, Richard D’Costa has said that bike stolen by accused Vijay Kulal belonged to him. He said the bike was parked outside his office in the city, when it was stolen by the accused person.
