After meeting Superintendent of Police (North Goa) Shobhit Saxena, Khaunte said that the recent seizure of pistol and bullets from Krishna Naik needs to be investigated properly as to whom he was targeting.
He also questioned whether the incident is related to recent political development in Succoro panchayat as the accused was a part of the group including ex-Sarpanch Sandeep Vazarkar of that panchayat and one youth leader of BJP mandal, who is also a history-sheeter.
Khaunte also commented whether the pistol was to hit him or the current Sarpanch of Succoro or someone else who is my close aide, needs to be probed.
The Porvorim MLA accused Porvorim Police inspector Ninad Deulkar of shielding the BJP workers, who are involved in the criminal activities in the constituency.
He pointed out that Krishna Naik was earlier involved in serious offences wherein he was found to be brandishing knife during Holi and also creating ruckus on Narakasur day, which went unregistered in the police records.
