PANAJI: The Goa Crime Branch has filed a 509-page chargesheet in the sensational Dona Paula dacoity case, marking a major development in the ongoing investigation.
The chargesheet includes statements of 30 witnesses and details gathered during the probe, with five accused already arrested in connection with the case.
Crime Branch had brought Mohammad Nazir, a Bangladeshi national and the sixth accused, to Goa on a transfer warrant from Delhi. Nazir was arrested in a joint operation conducted by the Goa Police and the Delhi Special Cell.
Following his arrest, Nazir was produced before a court in Delhi and later transferred to Goa for further investigation into his alleged role in the Dona Paula and Mapusa dacoity cases reported during 2025-26.
Earlier on April 30, the Crime Branch had brought five other Bangladeshi nationals arrested in connection with the dacoity cases to Goa.
The accused were identified as Noor Islam alias Nadim Khan, Suman Hauldhar alias Pannu, Saifful Islam, Zakir Haldar and Sohail Sheikh.
The investigation is focused on establishing the involvement of the accused in the organised dacoity cases and gathering further evidence related to the crimes.
The Crime Branch is expected to present additional details before the court as the legal proceedings move forward.
