PANJIM: She may be the Home Secretary of the UK, but it’s still not good enough for Goan origin Suella Braverman’s father Christie Santano Godfrey Fernandes to save his home in Goa.
Unidentified persons allegedly attempted to grab land belonging to Fernandes at Assagao by forging old documents.
The incident came to light when Christie Fernandes received intimation from authorities regarding inventory proceedings. Upon inquiry, he found that an unknown person(s) through Power of Attorney (PoA) filed inventory proceedings with respect to property bearing survey numbers 253/3 and 252/3 of Assagao village owned by him and other co-owners. The inventory proceedings were filed prior to July 27 this year and he came to know about it on August 8.
Fernandes immediately filed a complaint via email with the Goa DGP and also to the Chief Minister and the Commissioner for NRI Affairs.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has registered the case against unidentified persons under sections 419 and 420 of IPC. PSI Y Garodi is conducting investigations.
