Calangute: The Kama Gizmo, sex toy shop in Calangute has been shut down after the uproar in the media, especially Goemkarponn but the question remains, who gave permission for such a business.
The panchayat and the minister both have expressed ignorance of such a store operating.
Goemkarponn team visited the shop at Calangute Tinto and found it was closed.
Esquires with locals revealed the shop was open till last evening.
Sources revealed that the local panch members and MLA Michael Lobo, who is also the Minister in De Pramod Sawant cabinet, asked the owner to shut.
IKama Gizmos, as it is named, is a sex toy and wellness products store in Goa.
It also happened to be the country’s first official brick-and-mortar sex shop that was launched on February 14, according to a Vice.com report.
Calangute Sarpanch Dinesh Simerpurushkar when contacted said that the panchayat had no clue of any such shop opened.
“We were informed about it just yesterday by some media reports and whatsapp messages. We immediately acted and shut the place down,” he said.
Calangute MLA Michael Lobo also expressed ignorance of any such shop.
“We will not allow any business which will tarnish image of our constituency,” Lobo told Goemkarponn.
