The Congress demanded a judicial probe into the murder of a Nigerian national, allegedly by the narcotics mafia, and the subsequent blockading of the National Highway No.17 for hours Thursday.
Congress spokesperson Reginaldo Lourenco said that his party was open to a high-level probe into the findings of a legislative committee, which indicts senior Congress leader Ravi Naik, his son Roy and police officials for links with Goa's narcotics mafia. The manner in which Goa's main arterial road was held to ransom for six hours by a Nigerian gang indicated a failure of the home ministry. He further added that the corrupt policemen do not interfere in the workings of drug mafia.
On Thursday, the NH 17 was blocked for several hours by a mob of around 200 Nigerians following the murder of a Nigerian national in the early hours. He said that Congress demanded a judicial probe into the murder and its fallout, which include the highway blockade, assault on police officials and local residents by the Nigerians.
