PORVORIM: Accusing the IPS officers of setting up wrong trend of political victimisation during the investigation of serious offence like murder, Independent MLA Rohan Khaunte has demanded Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the murder of Vilas Methar.
Khaunte said the State government has been using police force to silence their opponents, who have been exposing all the illegal deeds in the favour of the public. The MLA said he is silent on the investigation in Methar murder case, but that does not mean he is approving whatever police are doing in the name of investigation.
“The death of Vilas Methar is an ideal case which should be given to the CBI. Let the truth come out. The trend of political victimisation started by IPS officer will percolate to DySPs and PIs corrupting the entire system,” he said adding that “trend of victimising people for political reasons is very dangerous.”
Khaunte said the CBI should not only inquire into the death of Methar but also another incident of murder and rape of a woman in Paithona ward. He pointed out that the same person, in whose construction site the incident happened, was leading candlelight march demanding justice to Methar.
“If some genuine activists and NGOs had to hold candlelight march, then I would have been standing with them,” he commented.
Khaunte said Porvorim is the only place where BJP and Congress have joined forces to attack local MLA on flimsy grounds.
