Click to play videoPanaji: The Goa Bench of Bombay High Court has slammed the Goa police, terming its investigation into the rape of a German minor as “just nor fair”.
The Bench comprising Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice Nelson A Britto came down heavily on the investigating officers in the sensational German minor rape case.
The German minor's mother Fadela Fuchs had accused Goa state Education Minister Atanasio Monseratte's son Rohit and Public Works Department Minister Churchill Alemao's nephew Warren of sexually exploiting her 14-year-old daughter.
She had then withdrawn the case against Monseratte. Human rights lawyer Aires Rodrigues alleged that the alleged victim's mother was doing so under duress as she was disillusioned with the way the case was moving.
"The mother feels that the whole system has failed her and that's the reason she's given a letter to the Calangute police station stating that the system has failed her. Her daughter who was a victim is sought to be made an accused in the matter and that she does not want to proceed with the case. I will be discussing with Governor Sidhu the whole case. So the German lady will also be present while I discuss the case with Goa Governor Sidhu. We shall be addressing the press after the meeting. The mother and daughter feel victimised," said Aires.
Fadela Fuchs had filed her complaint against Rohit on October 14. She had also demanded minister Babush Atanacio Monseratte be charged with abetting the crime, as the mobile phone registered in his name was used to send "obscene" messages the German minor.
Following the victim's statement and medical examination last Sunday, Rohit was arrested.
