Dears,
A new yahoogroup ..... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..... has been created to discuss
the narcotics DRUGS sub-culture in Goa's underbelly and to find measures to
reduce it, if not eradicate it completely in this globalised village, GOA.
The aim of the group is to achieve the above, and reduce the postings on
savegoa-now yahoogroups that is basically linking people to discuss issues
related to LAND and the Regional Plan for Goa.
Membership is open and free [ freedom of speech as long as it remains
responsible and not abusive.]
The issues that may be discussed include DRUGS per se, their availabilty,
impact on youth, families and specially children of drug users, the growing
Casino culture and the attendant 'highclass' prostitution with its impacts on
college youth and young "professionals", the role of NGOs rehab centres,
educational institutions, church authorities, temple committees, dargahs, etc
in reducing the menace.
Come, join the campaign to curb the drug menace in Goa. The time to do it was
yesterday. Let us at least do it TODAY.
Mog asundi.

Police accused of drug frame-up; deny charges
NT Staff Reporter
Panaji, March 19
The drug angle in Anjuna, which came under strong scrutiny due to the
Scarlette case, is not ready to die down as yet with Ms Neha Harmalkar, wife of
one Naresh Harmalkar, holding a press conference in the city today accusing the
police of framing her husband in a drugs case.
However, speaking to the âNavhind Times,â the superintendent of police,
Mr Omprakash Kudtarkar, while admitting that they had arrested and registered a
case against the accused for possession of drugs was quick to rubbish these
charges by stating that they were given the name of the accused by another
accused, Kalidas Madukar Naik alias Kali who was arrested on October 24, 2007
with drugs in his possession.
The wife of the accused, who runs a shack in Anjuna, claimed that her
husband, Naresh Harmalkar was arrested for possession of charas on November 23,
2007. She accused the ANC of planting drugs on her husband after he was
arrested and said that the police inspector and police constable had demanded
money to hush up the case. Mr Kudtarkar, however, argued that this is the
normal procedure followed by locals when they are caught for drugs.
He said that after they had received information from Kalidas they had placed
Naresh under observation and acting on specific information had arrested him.
Ms Neha has also accused the police of raiding her home and casting aspersions
on her husband even though she has been running a shack for the past 16 years.
She also claimed that Naresh has a clean record.
She says that the police know that drugs are freely available, are aware of
the guilty parties but only catch innocent people. However, Mr Kudtarkar
disagrees saying that this person is basically involved in peddling but as that
charge is difficult to be proved he was booked for possession. He said that the
police had seized more than 1 kg of charas from him and 59 LSD stamp papers. He
informed that the LSD has been sent to Hyderabad for investigation while charas
has been sent for chemical analysis and the results are expected soon. He said,
âThe case is under investigation for which we require the chemical
analysis.â

cases accused having jumped parole

Pursuant to direction given by the division bench of the Bombay High
Court comprising the Chief Justice, Mr Justice Swatanter Kumar and
Mr Justice N A Britto today, the Inspector General of Police, Mr
Kishen Kumar attended the court instead of the Director-General of
Police.
He informed the court that the DGP was out of station and therefore
could not attend the court.
The court observed that jumping of parole by the NDPS accused
adversely affects the society at large and hampers the stateâs
economy.
The court has directed the Chief Secretary, IGP, DGP, collector and
secretary finance to convene meeting and submit statistics about the
number of accused in NDPS cases who were granted parole during the
last five years and how many have so far returned.
The court has also asked to state the steps taken against the
persons who stood as sureties for these accused personâs who have
jumped parole. This order came to be passed when the court was
informed earlier by the government advocate that about 10 prisoners
in NDPS matters have jumped parole.
On being asked by the court as to what steps have been taken by the
state to arrest these accused persons, the court was informed that
sureties were being forfeited in some cases and police teams had
been sent to trace the accused.
Earlier the court had asked the superintendents of police, both
South and North Goa, to file affidavits stating the steps taken to
get back the accused persons who have jumped parole/furlough.
