SANCOALE: A disturbance erupted during a fortnightly meeting at the Village Panchayat Sancoale office on Wednesday, when Sancoale panch Tulshidas Naik, allegedly obstructed official proceedings.
According to a complaint filed by Orville Vales, Secretary of the Village Panchayat, the incident occurred at 11:05 a.m. while the panchayat body meeting was in progress. Naik reportedly snatched the minutes book, a vital government document, and flung it onto the floor, disrupting the meeting and preventing the Secretary from performing his lawful duties.
The accused was arrested by the police under Section 221 of the BNS and Section 3 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property (PDPP) Act. The minutes book was also reportedly damaged in the incident.
The arrest and subsequent investigation are being led by PSI Nikhil Desai under the Supervision of PI Melson Colaco and the guidance of Mormugao DySP Gurudas Kadam.
