OLD GOA: AAP Goa President Amit Palekar appeared before the Old Goa police station after receiving summons in regards to the viral video of Suleiman Siddiqui.
Palekar also slammed the police for treating him like an accused person and threatened to take the case to the courts for an impartial investigation.
“As a witness cannot be questioned and the statement must be given voluntarily, I am treated like an accused,” Palekar explained.
Palekar added that as the accusations are grave and directed at the deputy speaker of SP Crime, DySP, an independent probe is necessary.
He went on to say that he helped the police arrest Suleiman by giving them the footage, but that he is now being persecuted.
Palekar stated that the purpose of the entire incident is to fabricate evidence against him and have him arrested. “In the future, the public won’t come forward to help the police as the thought of getting harassed will be in their mind,” he said.
“The persons mentioned in the first video have never been summoned but we are being harassed for releasing the video to the public,” Palekar said.
However, this is too much, therefore I will not give in to pressure. Let the administration attempt to use me as a scapegoat in this situation if they have the courage to do so. I’ll make sure that the law is used, that the guilty are held accountable, and that we are not harmed.
Palekar then insisted that the people responsible for the most recent Suleiman video be looked into as well.
“As we are being investigated for releasing the first video to the public, the one who released the latest video should also be investigated,” he insisted.
