I know of one timber merchant from Marcel who was smuggling teak from Goa
and who used AGD to kill the young Portuguese Forest Officer who was newly
inducted into the GOA FS because he was on the trail of the timber smugglers
connected to AGD. The name of the Portuguese Officer was Maciel Chaves. This
timber merchant was nabbed by agent Monteiro aftr this gruesome murder while
the officer was on a surprise visit to Valpoi Forest at night, incarcerated
and died under interrogation. He was cremated at his house at Marcel under
police supervision. This was the punishment given to traitors and murderers
in Goa during the Portuguese regime and because of that there were no crimes
in Goa and people could leave their houses open without fear of robberies
etc. Those who feared the rule of law were the criminals themselves.
One of the freedolefarter who is the director of one of the institutes in
Goa was caught by the scruff of his nect loitering outside Lohia Maidan
during a public meeting of social activists and jailed for a few hours and
released because this punk was just 18 years old. This incident has given
this punk the title of a freedom fighter of Goa and who has been living off
the pension.
Shame!
Santosh may be knowing who I am referring to.

Many peaceful freedom fighters who would not have been termed as terrorists
today were arrested and thrown in jail without trial in Salazar's Goa.
Several were killed by Salazar's police.

It should also be noted that the guy who arranged the seminar on
Portuguese
colonies (20 Oct 1961), P.D. Gaitondo, left Goa for Europe soon after he
lost
the election (for the Congress, a trouncing to remember). Why Gaitondo
took this
step is anyone's guess.
Also, one needs to remember that these so-called freedom-fighters would be
termed as terrorists in today's world, and they would have been arrested
and
thrown into prison without trial in today's India for doing the same
things
they did in Salazar's Goa.
Note: It has been said that the seminar mentioned above probably forced
Nehru's hand as the African delegates requested him to first look after
his
backyard before meddling in Africa's issues.
