“Although the FIR has been lodged, the defendants are still at large. The owner of the security company that supplied the bouncers is among those who have not been assisting with the probe, a senior police official informed The Goan. “We’ve started a huge search for them.”
According to Rajesh Sinary’s statement to the Anjuna police, he and his family had been residing in the house since May 2022 on a verbal rental arrangement that was backed up by an email exchange from the accused, paying Rs 50,000 a month.
Sinary and his family allegedly opposed what they called a forceful takeover, even though he sought a court order to leave the property. According to police, their initial investigation revealed that Khorate and his crew had forcibly entered the property through a rear entry.
“This is a civil dispute, but using criminal force has turned it into a serious criminal case,” he said, adding that “the door usually stays open.” People who have power of attorney are unable to enforce the law on their own. We are looking into every possibility.
