Panaji: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday
demanded the arrest of Goa Home Minister Ravi Naik’s son, Roy,
for his alleged links with the drug mafia in the state.
Leader of Opposition Manohar Parrikar said that the
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is investigating
the drug-nexus case, should arrest Roy, as he stands accused
in the case.
BJP’s demand comes after an interview given by Swedish
Model, Lucky Farmhouse on Thursday, in which, she said
that Roy was giving drugs to her former boyfriend Atala (alias
Yaniv Benaim).
Parrikar said that Lucky, who is the prime witness in the
drug-nexus case, should be questioned immediately by the CBI,
so that Roy's role becomes clear.
BJP also demanded that CBI should investigate Goa Crime
Branch officers for their connivance at the Israeli drug lord
involved in the drug nexus case.
"CBI should take into custody Deputy Superintendent of
Police Chandrakant Salgaoncar and Police Inspector Pravinkumar
Vast, who arranged bail to Atala," Parrikar said.
Seven policemen were arrested after Lucky had shot video
clips of Atala bragging about his links with the officers.
