The HYD cops deep inroads into Goa’s narco business and the arrest of highly influential big daddies of Goa’s nightlife in serious NDPS cases have sent shockwaves in the well-entrenched drug lobby and their overground supporters including those in the official system.

The H-NEW squad of the Hyderabad police, a task force established to have zero tolerance on drugs, has rounded up key suppliers and dealers with speed and efficiency that has been alien to the Goa Police.

Those arrested have been operating in Goa for ten to fifteen years without being troubled at all by the local cops.

The Goa Police need to deliver and get the drug

dealers suppliers and powerful drug bosses off Goa

as well as get its own house in order and get rid of

black sheep in uniform.

Goa Police must reveal how it concluded that no extortion exists.

If an inquiry has indeed been conducted to conclude that hoteliers in the Northern belt of Goa have received no extortion threats, then the police must reveal how it was conducted, the names of hoteliers interviewed, and forensic investigations conducted including electronic examination of devices such as phones and computers.

A cursory round of questioning, if that is the case, won’t lead to the right conclusions.

And yet again, the stage of asking for a complaint is long gone. An immediate ground-level inquiry needs to be evident and its findings presented.
