Fatorda: The Fatorda police have submitted a detailed 624-page chargesheet in the Mungul gang war case, alleging that the accused orchestrated a premeditated attack on Walter Fernandes in the early hours of August 12.
According to the chargesheet, the accused, identified as A-1 to A-28, formed an unlawful assembly and armed themselves with weapons including iron rods, hammers, choppers, knives, axes, filled soda bottles, swords, and a firearm, intending to assault Fernandes.
The police stated that believing Fernandes was travelling in a Baleno car owned by complainant Yuvkesh Singh Badaila, the accused intercepted the vehicle near Bab Bakery, close to Sagun Restaurant in Mungul, Fatorda, using three other vehicles—a white Toyota Innova, a white Maruti Suzuki Fronx, and a red Maruti Suzuki XL6.
The chargesheet further alleges that the group brutally attacked the complainant and his friend, causing grievous injuries with sharp weapons and damaging the complainant’s car. Accused Amog Naik (A-27) is said to have fired two shots at the complainant, with one bullet hitting the Baleno’s left-side door. After the assault, all accused allegedly fled the scene in their respective vehicles.
Additionally, Joyston Fernandes (A-10) is accused of arranging a Baleno car for some accused—Avinash Gunjikar (A-11), Imran Bepari (A-12), Akshay Talwar (A-13), and Mohammad Tahir Khan (A-17)—to escape Goa after the attack. Deepak Kattimani (A-14) and Parshuram Rathod (A-15) allegedly helped them stay in a hotel in Karnataka, facilitating their evasion.
The chargesheet also mentions that Vally D’Costa (A-26), Amog Naik (A-27), and Prakash Karbar (A-28) allegedly destroyed their mobile phones and failed to submit them during the investigation.
The accused are now facing multiple charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023—including Sections 109, 111, 115(2), 118(1), 118(2), 126(2), 324(4), 351(3), 61(2), 241, 249(B) read with 190—and Sections 3, 4 read with 25 of the Arms Act, 1959.
