I don’t know why the press is making such a big issue about the cops at the
casinos. They did not see them gambling, did they? And even if they did, casino
gambling is legal in Goa. The Director General of Police is right in stating
that the officers could go to the casinos during their off duty, just like
people visit churches, temples, etc. So too public should not waste time to
figure out how a cop can pay an entry fee of Rs. 2,000; or whether it was
complimentary and the casino played a host to these top officers. It was off
duty, and does not amount to corrupt practice of accepting gratification. Even
if tomorrow you see one dining at a five star hotel along with a realtor or a
builder; it is not illegal, and no need to report it in the press. After all it
is very common practice in Goa and does not make news.
