Palekar further stated that he has decided not to pursue the complaint after the parents of the youths reportedly requested him to withdraw the matter.
Expressing concern over the law and order situation, the Congress leader remarked that “Goa is becoming nothing short of Mirzapur,” drawing a comparison with the crime-themed web series to highlight what he described as the state’s deteriorating public safety.
There has been no official statement from the police regarding the incident at the time of reporting.
