MAPUSA: Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte on Tuesday met Superintendent of Police North Goa Shobhit Saxena demanding action in connection with the assault on a doctor at Porvorim.
Khaunte said, “The meeting with the SP ended with a positive note but I am waiting for the actual action to be taken in this matter.” The MLA pointed out that three accused were arrested only after the doctors under the banner of Indian Medical Association marched to the police station.
“The main accused may be related to Union Minister or nephew of a BJP mandal leader, but he should not be let scot-free,” he added.
The MLA also pointed out that one of the three accused arrested last night had serious offences against him. “The internment proceeding against that accused are pending because he is getting support from Porvorim Police Inspector,” Khaunte said.
“The doctors have been doing wonderful job in the times of COVID-19 pandemic but their safety is at the risk at present with such kind of incidents. It is unfortunate that the doctors from across Goa had to walk to police station demanding action with regard to the matter,” he said.
