NCP legislator jailed six months for assault
October 5th, 2011 - 1:56 pm ICT by IANSPanaji, Oct 5 (IANS) Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) legislator Francisco alias Mickky Pacheco was Wednesday jailed for six months after a court rejected his bail application in an assault case.
Kapil Natekar, a junior engineer employed with the electricity department, had in 2006 filed a complaint against Pacheco after the latter assaulted him in his office following an argument.
The former tourism minister was convicted by a trial court earlier this year and had appealed against this before the district and sessions court in Margao, 30 km from here.
Pacheco, a controversial legislator, also has several complaints registered against him ranging from bigamy, culpable homicide, assault, extortion, money laundering and human trafficking, among others.
Last year, he was in the news for the mysterious death of his alleged lover Nadia Torrado. He was granted conditional bail by a trial court in the culpable homicide case.
