Goa government is taking issues seriously. Earlier last week, it took to the notice of Karan Johar and filed a complaint against him for dumping bio medical waste at a shooting spot in Goa. The government has said that there is no place for drug trafficking and drug tourism or vacations in Goa. Yesterday we posted a report on Poonam Pandey’s vulgar photo shoot in Goa yesterday which drew a lot of flak.
Now a police inspector was suspended on Thursday following outrage over actor Poonam Pandey’s controversial photoshoot at a restricted dam site in South Goa, police said. Photos from the provocative shoot featuring Pandey, held at the Chapoli dam in Canacona sub-district, had gone viral earlier this week, which sparked protests in the area, with ruling and opposition party members staging a protest demanding action against police officials permitting the shoot. The protestors had threatened to close down the town of Canacona for a day, while demanding action for the alleged dereliction on part of the police.
“Police inspector in-charge of the Canacona police station Tukaram Chavan has been suspended,” Deputy Superintendent of Police Nelson Albuquerque told the protestors in Canacona. On Wednesday, police also filed a First Information Report, first against unknown persons and then against Pandey under section 294 (obscenity) of the Indian Penal Code, after the Goa Police had received nearly half a dozen written complaints regarding the controversial photoshoot.
