PANJIM, JAN 30
Suspended Police Inspector Sandesh Chodankar on Sunday asked for police protection after two unknown persons had trespassed into his ancestral house at Neugi Nagar, here, on the pretext of repairing an electricity meter and started searching for him. Deputy Superintendent of Police Deu Banavalikar said Chodankar had mentioned names of two people who, he stated, may have sent the two persons in connection with the Cipriano case. The suspended PI has now asked for police protection, Banavalikar informed.
Describing today’s incident as per a written complaint, Banavalikar said when the two unknown persons came knocking Chodankar’s younger brother’s wife and her minor son were at home. They told her the PI had complained the electricity meter needed repairs, he stated.
The DySP said the two tried to enter further inside the house but the sister-in-law of Chodankar stopped them saying the meter was working fine and it needed no repairs. The two inquired where the PI was and then left which made her suspicious, he mentioned.
He said a case has been registered against the unknown persons at the Panjim police station under Section 452 (criminal trespass) and 120-B (conspiracy).
