VASCO: The Sancoale village panchayat on Saturday alleged that a RTI activist was involved in hill cutting here.
Former Chicalim sarpanch and Comunidade of Sancoale president Pratap Mardolkar said that the self-styled RTI activist from Sancoale had allegedly forged his mother's name in property documents, and took house number by falsification of documents. The activist had no guts to face the general body meeting of the Comunidade of Sancoale, he said.
Mardolkar further said that the activist was also involved in pilferage of petrol and was booked by the police for stealing petrol from tankers.
Former Sancoale sarpanch Narayan Naik said that the activist was uploading videos of irregularities on social media but was hiding his own misdeeds. He said that the activist had blackmailed the panchayat and obtained house number on the same day of submitting his application.
Sancoale Deputy Sarpanch Girish Pillai also criticised the activist for uploading videos on social media and trying to blackmail the people.
