GHRC, headed by retired Judge A D Salkar and having J A Keny as member, adjourned the matter to December 8 and directed the Chief Secretary and DGP of Goa Police to file a detailed report.
GHRC was informed that the DGP has written to the Chief Secretary seeking that the probe in the food scam be conducted by a non-police officer.
The DGP in his report to the Chief Secretary stated that Panaji SDPO Serafin Dias, Mapusa SDPO Mahesh Gaonkar and Porvorim PI Jivba Dalvi had complained that the food served to police personnel during the BRICS summit was of poor and substandard quality not fit for consumption and the packaging was unhygienic.
It was further stated that amongst other police personnel, Police Inspector Roy Pereira complained of food poisoning after consuming the chicken biryani on October 16.
In the complaint to GHRC last month it had been submitted that the contract for Rs 51. 6lakh given to Amonkar Classic Caterers was sublet to a roadside contractor who prepared the food in an open place owned by the Police Department.
