MARGAO: Goa is still unable to overcome the shock of the tragic suicide of senior Margao based Lawyer, Adv Jayant Prabhu. The fact that he alleged in his suicide note that a Lady PSI humiliated him with her extreme rude behaviour toward judicial officers is astounding and raises a telling question mark on the State’s police force and the manner of their appointment and or if they have political backing.
South Goa lawyers had a meeting and thereafter met the Margao DySP Santosh Desai and the firmly backed the demand of the family for an FIR against Lady PSI Anoushka Parab and four other constable for abetment to suicide. It is alleged that there is more to the sexual harassment case that meets the eye. Incidentally, it is yet to be confirmed, whether all three –late Adv Jayant Prabhu, Lady PSI Anoushka Parab and the complainant against Adv Pritish are all from Vasco and there are some other issues which have played a part.
It is also reported that all the three had more than one sitting in the alleged sexual harassment case against Adv Pritish, before his father Adv Jayant took the drastic step.
There are four major mistakes the police made in visiting late Adv Jayant Prabhu’s house, which he alleged led to his suicide.
Late Adv Jayant has clearly blamed Lady PSI Anoushka in his suicide note for being extremely rude to him. There are also allegations that Lady PSI Anoushka put her hand to her service revolver. The entire sequence of events finally led to the tragic demise of a respected lawyer.
