tanks to the poor in the state.
National Students Union of India's (NSUI) Goa Chief Sunil
Kawthankar has been questioned for filing a criminal

All India Congress Committee secretary Sudhakar Reddy
told reporters today that he has been heading the inquiry
commission which is probing Kawthankar's act.
"He had met me and expressed regret over the issue,"

media statement.
