The “Gems of Parrikar” – the “Pericles of Goa” – on the “Goan Police”
• “People ask me why I am not suspending some of the officers although they were proved to be corrupt. I can’t do that because I am already facing shortage of officers”.
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/goa-chief-minister-manohar-parrikar-corruption/1/186583.html
• DIG – Vimal Gupta – On corruption charge and transferred out, by CM of Goa,for “not so good” activities ( the words of the CM of Goa)

The Story is that the Devyani Naik and Chandan Naik bribed Panwari Bania DIG – Gupta Mishtan Bhandar, and the wimps of the ACB took the maximum time to file the FIR

Then there is the pandoos of RPF collecting haftas from pimps,hookers,thieves and smugglers,who spend their time in the station and platform
RPF pandoos are busy checking for hooch and fenee in the station ! Not Bombs ! This was stated by the AG !
http://www.navhindtimes.in/lax-security-measures-at-margao-railway-station-facilitate-easy-escapes/
How will pandoos check for IEDs and RDX.There is no X-Ray machine
They have a baggage room on the KRC platform at exit,where anyone can plant a bomb in his bags,and disappear,and it will explode after a few days or a few minutes !
And there are no baggage records ! After the blast – no one will know which bag blew up (forensically) !
One of the greatest achievement of the pandoo police of Goa is a crooked pandoo Duttagaru Sawant who caught 488 smuggled HELMETS,worth Rs 1.9 lacs !
