Sunday evening I returned from the temples in Mashel via Banastari bridge. Barely an hour later, a ghastly murder took place there.
A drunk woman in a Mercedes mowed down an innocent couple from Divar. There was another fatality as well. Recognise it for what it is: a MURDER, not an accident. Enough of the usual babble about the law taking its own course and withholding judgement. We know how the “law” works in Goa and in India. Already the Goa Police have initiated their usual shenanigans to provide an escape hatch for the perps. The filthy drunkard woman is the daughter of a well-known real estate builder (family friends, and people known to me from childhood). Wrecking Panjim & surrounds with their concrete turds wasn’t enough for these scum. Now their next generation, the fruit of their diseased loins, are extinguishing lives with their reckless disregard for basic norms. This is a signal moment for Goans: if you stand by mutely and let the debauched demons get away with murder, tomorrow it could be your son, wife, nephew, or father. Say something. Make yourself heard. These people should not only face criminal justice, they just be made persona non grata socially. r
