Margoa, Jul 7: The local sleuths on Sunday July 6 arrested 5 persons involved in smuggling of contraband swords and choppers.  The team of sleuths with higher officers has left for border town of Belgaum, in Karnataka to nab Jagdish Singh, a native of Punjab who was the prime accused in supplying these contrabands.

Senior superintendent of police Ravinder Singh Yadav, while briefing the media persons at the press conference held in South Goa police headquarter, disclosed that they have arrested Bashir Sheikh, Irfan Kachi, Floyd Coutinho, Farooq Sheikh and Mohinuddin alias Amin Sheikh, related to this case.

Margoa police on Thursday July 3 had seized a truck, laden with 17 swords and 16 choppers, at Motidongor and arrested these five accused related to contraband case.

Police investigated the past owners of this truck, Sanjay Naik first owner of this truck informed police that he had sold it to a certain Pradip Naik, and the chain went on, with Abdul Mazi, a third owner, Mazi then sold it to Mohinuddin alias Amin Sheikh, while Amin was found to have changed the name for such purpose.

According to police, Amin used fake voter’s identity card get to effect the transfer of this truck on his name.

    Police should not show any mercy on those who are involved in smuggling the weapons. Goa is known for peace and communal harmony. Goan Muslims should not be blamed for the communal violence. I have never heard about them in involving such type of activities.

    Its very much clear that the Migrant muslims are responsible for creating tension in the city. The Congress party should not blame Bajrang Dal or any Hindu organisation for the violence in the city. The Police should keep a watch on the activities of the Migrants in sensitive area. The migrant Muslims are real threat to Goa and its People. So Honourable CM let as many migrants come to Margao and get settele.

    Everybody knows that you and your CHAMACHE are there to give them ration card's, Election Cards etc. You politician's are not bothered about the State and the common people. In the next election you can win by more votes and for that there will be no need of support from the Goyenkar's.
