Dear SaligaonkarsThe police may tell you lot of things. I think there is a legislation where the policeman on duty is penalised for not filing FIR and chargesheet. I am not aware of the complete detail of the same but someone will know about it. Even in case of accidents the police encourage you to compromise because it is easy for them. the policemen of today do not want to work. they want shortcuts. The cell in saligao should fight this out and make your saligao a strong place. Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:13:30 +0530 Subject: Re: [SALIGAONET] An unwanted visitor. Thanks to retired cop Patil.

I wish to make a correction to what Lloyd wrote. I was not dissuaded to file a complaint. I was given a choice and i asked alot of questions to find out what was involved in filing an FIR. The calangute cops were quite helpful and polite. Mr Patil convinced me that i should file a complaint.

Yes, when such cases are brought to most police stations in Goa, the police may discourage you from fililng the FIR report, telling that you will be needed to come often to the police station any time you are called and will also need to attend court cases, etc. It makes you wonder whether these cops are properly trained to do the job they are supposed to do, or are competent enough, or are they not interested in doing their job or whether they are they on the side of the criminal and don't care if such type of criminal cases continue. In Yvonne's case, thanks to Mr. Patil (retired cop of Saligao). He not only helped to trap and capture the thief, he also took Yvonne on his own bike to the poilce station, and when the cops were dissauding her from filing the the FIR (with the usual reasons mentioned above), Mr. Patil encouraged Yvonne to file the FIR and even helped in wording it out for her. (In fact, I would like to call Mr. Patil the Super Cop of Sailago and am proud to have such a person in our neighbourhood). Dear friends, if for any unfortunate reason you have to approach the police station, and if your case is strong enough, please file the FIR and help make Saligao a safer place to live in.

A note of caution to everyone in Saligao. Don't leave your doors open while you are alone in the house. A thief entered a ground floor flat in Calangute while 2 senior ladies(originally from Saligao) were in the flat. No one saw him enter but the lady who was bedridden watched him as he entered the bedroom, opened the cupboard and took a bundle of cash. She was too scared to shout out. Fortunately a relative happened to come in just then and raised the alarm. The thief was arrested but let off after 2 days because the old lady did not want to file a complaint. A few days later this same chap was seen cooly walking along the road in front of the flat. I have experiencd the shocking incident of a notorious thief breaking into my house but he and his accomplice are caught. He's in judicial lock up and investigations are going on regd his previous crimes. Hes also wanted by the Karnataka police. It is scary to know that there are these daring criminals roaming the streets of our village. But on the other hand there are also many many good caring selfless Saligavnkars who came to my aid ,showed so much concern and offered help and support in different ways. I thank them all from my heart. Yvonne On Sat, Oct 19, 2013 at 3:52 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: For us Saligaonkars, Its indeed horrifying to see such house breaking happening. In a busy area of the village and in broad daylight for an event to happen like this shows that thieves are getting smarter and are keeping eyes not only on vacant homes, but also at the movements of the occupants. A word of appreciation for Mr. Patil and the neighbours for nabbing the thief. Saligao is no longer the peaceful quaint village it was, with an influx of people we need to be vigilant. We need to keep the entry and exits of our homes secure at all times. Police need to have their beats in the late hours of the night to keep a tab on the night house breaks as well. - Nicolas Sent on my BlackBerry® from Vodafone From: Frederick FN Noronha * <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2013 15:09:03 +0530 To: saligaonet<[email protected]>; <[email protected]> ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: [SALIGAONET] An unwanted visitor... even before noon! Just yesterday, I got a chance to talk to Saligaonetter Yvonne Vaz-Ezdani of Salmona, and, on asking, she narrated her recent trauma when she was a victim of a house-breaking and theft case earlier this month. It happened in broad daylight. The culprit, noting that the house was empty, used a crow-bar to break into the main front door lock, and then had quite boldly entered inside the house! Fortunately, the culprit got apprehended, after being trapped in the house. (Apparently, a retired policeman Patil was passing by, noticed, and had the presence of mind to bolt the front-door, thus locking the culprit within the house.) Alert neighbours (including a maid) raised the alarm. The incident happened between 11 am and noon, when Yvonne had just stepped out to go to Mapusa. The call that came through to her in Mapusa stunned Yvonne, as one would not even expect a house-breaking case at that time of the day! She rushed home, to find that the neighbours and police had surrounded the house, and caught the culprit, who had barricaded himself indoors, after having to break through a tiny part of the roofing to gain entry themselves. If I understood anything wrong, Yvonne can correct me. It was later found out that the culprit was involved in other out-of-State crime too, and was living at rented premises in Arradi, Candolim. Apparently the cuplrit (and possibly a woman associate) had been keeping watch on the house for a day or two. Only goes to show that we can't take our safety for granted. But of course, these things strike when we're least expecting. Strangely enough, another house in the close vicinity had been burgled just a few days earlier. If I understood right, the police had been slow on coping with the case, and even wanted to know whether Yvonne herself wanted to follow it up in the courts. When the law is broken in a criminal case, where is the choice before the State on whether to prosecute or not? It is mandatory that such issues be followed up to their logical end. This is a trend which needs concern and attention. A house-breaking case by daytime in a busy residential locality points to extra boldness on the part of the culprits. Are our authorities tuned in to the situation?
