The Agacaim Police have today sought the assistance of the Indian Embassy
at Lisbon in Portugal to serve the summons to secure the presence in Goa
of famed Pop Star and Padma Shri Remo Fernandes who has been booked in the
child abuse case.
Agacaim Police Inspector Jivba Dalvi has sent the summons to the Goa office
of the Foreigner Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to be forwarded to the
Indian Embassy in Portugal to be served on Remo Fernandes as he is a
Portuguese national and currently in Portugal. The Agacaim Police has
directed Remo Fernandes to appear on 23rd December at 4pm failing which the
Police will take steps to compel his presence.
The Police have already also summoned Remo’s son Jonah Fernandes to appear
on December 23rd at 10 am in connection with the case registered against
his father.
The Agacaim Police last week registered an F.I.R under Sec 8 of the Goa
Children’s Act 2003 against Remo Fernandes after recording the statement of
the minor victim girl before the Child Welfare NGO. The offence Remo
Fernandes is charged with is non bailable and carries an imprisonment of a
maximum of three years along with a fine of up to Rs one lakh.
Remo Fernandes is accused of having verbally abused the 17 year old minor
girl Helen D’Souza of Malvan who was knocked down at Gurim on 1st Dec by
the speeding car driven by his son Jonah in which Remo Fernandes was also
travelling. “Why are you alive. You should have died” is what Remo
Fernandes is accused of having allegedly said while verbally abusing the
minor girl.
The Mapusa Police have already registered an offence of rash and negligent
driving against Jonah Fernandes under Sections 279 and 338 of the Indian
Penal Code.
The grievously hurt Helen D’Souza is currently recuperating in Ward No 105
at the Goa Medical College in Bambolim where she is undergoing multiple
operations for her head and leg injuries.
