“The video clips and other evidence are in circulation in the public domain in Goa for the last two weeks, yet the Goa Police which are controlled by the State government have not taken any action in the matter. In cases of rape, exploitation of women, etc., the police can take suo motto action, even if the victim does not come forward to register an FIR. In the Tarun Tejpal case an FIR was registered by the State on the insistence of the then CM, the late Manohar Parrikar and the survivor, who was based in Delhi, was provided air tickets by the Goa government to record her statement.

I am moving the Bombay High Court next week, praying for a CBI investigation as the Goa Police will not give the victim a fair and thorough investigation,” Shristi-Sharma said.
