Curchorem local confesses buying weapon in Bihar
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, SEPT 13
The local who was arrested on Sunday by the Agassaim police with a country-made pistol, told the investigating team that he purchased the weapon for Rs 7000 from Hazaribagh district of Bihar.
DySP Deu Benaulikar told reporters that Suhas Godse, a resident of Curchorem during interrogation admitted to have bought the weapon from Bihar to sell in Goa as he assumed it would have fetched him much more money.
“He purchased the country made pistol from a shop at Hazaribagh to sell here to later expend the bulk amount on boozing, as he describes himself an alcoholic. We are further interrogating him,” said the officer.
Godse, who has separated from his wife and two small kids, apparently has a mistress back in Bihar with whom he lived for about three-months before travelling to Goa this Sunday.
A private electrician, Godse (38) has been remanded to eight-day police custody by a local Court. Acting on a tip-off, police nabbed the ‘pistol seller’ on Sunday evening when he was looking out for a prospective buyer to sell the weapon at Bambolim.
He has been booked for illegal possession of arm, who alighted from a train at Vasco Railway Station from where he came to Carambolim and then at Bambolim where he was netted red-handed.
