A local court today rejected the bail plea of former Goa Tourism Minister
Fransisco Mickey Pacheco in connection with the death of his friend Nadia
Torrado.
Additional Sessions judge Pramod Kamat denied bail to Pacheco, who surrendered
before the court on Saturday last after his anticipatory bail petition was
rejected by the Supreme Court.
Pacheco is currently undergoing treatment for hypertension, jaundice and
urinary tract infection at the Hospicio hospital in Margao.
The court has ordered that the crime branch can take his custody once he is
discharged from the hospital or is medically fit.
The 46-year-old NCP legislator was booked by police on the charge of abetment
to suicide and culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Pacheco's close friend Nadia, 28, had allegedly consumed poison on May 15 and
subsequently was admitted to various private hospitals in Goa, Thane and
Chennai. She died on May 30.
