The Goa Government of trying to mislead Goa Governor Mridula Sinha on jailed Nuvem MLA Mickky Pacheco’s criminal antecedents by not placing the relevant facts before her along with his Mercy petition seeking Pardon.
The South Goa Superintendent of Police by a letter dated 30th July 2015 addressed to the Inspector General of Prisons had strongly opposed Mickky Pacheco’s application seeking Parole. The SP in his letter while giving details of cases pending against Mickky Pacheco and strongly opposing the parole application had stated that there was every possibility that Mickky Pacheco may interfere with the investigation and threaten witnesses in the cases pending against him. It was incumbent upon the Government to place this letter before the Governor along with Micky Pacheco’s Mercy petition. Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar are working overtime to try and get Mickky Pacheco pardoned hook or by crook despite his six month jail sentence having been upheld by four Courts and later the Supreme Court of India. While Sudhir Parve the BJP MLA of Umred in Nagpur has recently been sentenced to two years in jail for having slapped a government teacher, Mickky Pacheco who has been convicted for a similar serious offence of having in 2006 as a Minister assaulted a Junior Engineer while on duty is sought to be pardoned though he has been sentenced for a mere six months.
