Goa drug mafia linked to terror outfits: NCP
August 21st, 2010 - 8:18 pm ICT by IANSPanaji, Aug 21 (IANS) Goa’s drug trade, in which police and politicians are allegedly involved, could be linked to terror outfits, a senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) spokesperson said Saturday.
Speaking to reporters in Panaji, Trajano D’mello, NCP’s chief spokesperson in Goa, said the local police were sabotaging investigations into the police-politician-drug mafia nexus and demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the case.
“We have prepared a memorandum, which would be handed over to the chief minister. What makes the drug mafia probe serious is that it could have links to terror and that the home minister has said in the assembly that politicians from Goa’s coastal belt are involved in drug trade,” Trajano said, after the state executive committee meeting of the NCP, a partner in the Congress-led coalition government.
Seven policemen and two Israeli drug dealers have already been arrested for their links to the narcotics trade in Goa. Lucky Farmhouse, a Sweden-based model and a former girlfriend of an Israeli drug dealer, has also accused Home Minister Ravi Naik’s son of having links with the drug mafia, a charge which the home minister has denied.
