PANJIM: Even when there were CCTV cameras, how did a Constable help the land grabbing accused Suleman Khan to escape? Were there no other constables or jail incharge to stop Constable Amit Naik? How did he get the keys of the lock-up. In this episode of Street Voices we asked people if there are chances that the jail break may have a political hand behind it? Here are the responses.
Without the blessing of the higher ups –it maybe a politician or a bureaucrat or a policemen or a businessman who had contact with this type of people, this cannot happen. The constable releases an undertrial, ferries him and takes him out of the state. Does a petty police constable have so much courage to release him without the blessings of the higher ups? That’s why I’m saying this is well planned, well organized and well executed to safeguard the mastermind who is behind this land grabbing case.

To hide the name of that person whose name has come up in the land grabbing case, this case has been propped up by getting the IRB constable involved. First they were using bouncers. Now we have hit such a low that they are using police personnel who should be protecting the people. If people are escaping from the custody of the Crime Branch, what remains of law and order in Goa?

The law and order is in a very bad state. You can see the number of crimes that are taking place in a state. And to see that somebody who has been arrested at the Crime Branch escapes with the help of a constable. Our Chief Minister who is the Home Minister has to be questioned on the same. Because if there is a convict who escapes from the Crime Branch with the help of a constable, there is a problem somewhere. Either they are frustrated with the job or they are trying to make a fast buck by helping persons who are accused to escape.

This shows that this is something that Pramod Sawant is incapable of handling. He should not handle too many portfolios since an undertrial who is in custody escapes. It is a shame for the Police Department and the BJP which says that Goa is in safe hands. Goa is definitely in safe hands and culprits left, right and centre are getting away.
