Murder and robbery of Mapusa Jeweller
Post breaking news - Report
Ratnakant Raikar from Raikar Jeweller's family of Nachinola, a school
classmate of yours faithfully, was murdered in his shop located next to the
Corporation Bank- Pink Panther in the building block housing the famous Remi
Studio. Being Ganesh Festivity fast approaching, Ratnakant opened his shop
in the afternoon around 2 p.m., the attackers, it is reported, entered
immediately after he entered the shop posing as customers, pulled down the
shutter and did their job, escaping with what is reported as more than a
crore of rupees worth of gold. When yours faithfully, was alerted of this
incident by a phone call from Toronto at 8.00 p.m. by his brother, immediate
enquiry with the Mapusa Police Station confirmed the murder and robbery.
When yours faithfully reached the site of murder, it was choked with people,
vehicles, name it. Enter CM, Dy. collector, dog squad, finger printing ....
yours faithfully has condoled the immediate family members at the entrance
of the shop and returned back. Most of the cousins who were present at the
site of murder are school mates of yours faithfully. SP Allen D'Sa was in
charge of conducting the investigation.
Hopefully, the perpetrators will be traced and as Miguel Braganza, who was
also at the site said... these guys if caught must not be executed but be
made to linger to die. It is expected that this dastardly job is the work of
outsiders who according the the Dy. Collector, Mapusa, Mr. Sabaji Shetye,
are taking advantage of Goan's sucegad and care free life style.
Incidentally, yours faithfully does remember the fights he and the departed
friend used to have together claiming the 'godde' in the primary school at
St. Xavier's , Moira in the strike and take away the goddo, in the Brito
Section of the school, which is now renovated in a spic and span condition
by Acron Builders who also happen to be Brittos. The Dy. Collector did
inform yours faithfully that Ratnakant has resisted strongly before being
over-powered, by the distinct wounds of stabbing received in different
places on the body. Yours faithfully moved out before the body was taken out
and into the police vehicle for the onward journey to Bambolim Medical
College mortuary for post mortem.
May my school friend Ratnakant's good soul rest in eternal peace.
Hopefully, Yours faithfully will be able to place a fire-wood stick over his
pyre at the crematorium which is in the immediate neighbourhood of the
residence of yours faithfully.
