MARGAO: The CID (crime branch) has issued summons to a brother of the deceased Nadia Torrado in connection with his sister’s death case.

Nadia’s brother has been summoned on Wednesday. The summons have been served through the Maina-Curtorim police station.

The crime branch and the South Goa superintendent of police have directed all the police stations in Goa, especially Colva, Verna, Margao town police station, to see the whereabouts of the fugitive former tourism minister, Mr Francisco Xavier Pacheco alias Mickky and his OSD, Mr Lyndon Montero, who have been made accused by the crime branch in the Nadia death case.

On Monday, the Bombay High Court at Goa rejected the anticipatory bail applications of Mr Pacheco and Mr Monteiro.

In Panaji, the superintendent of police, special branch, Mr Atmaram Deshpande told the media persons that the police are still looking out for Mr Pacheco and added that an arrest warrant is not required to nab a criminal.

Mr Deshpande observed that police are sure that Mr Pacheco has not left the country as a lookout circular has been issued much before he could make any attempt to flee the country.

While replying to a query on the notary, Mr Deshpande informed that the notary could not have acted after the expiry of his practice permit as all the documents become null and void if he acts after the expiry of his term as notary.

The SP said if, need be, the crime branch would not hesitate to raid notary’s house again to locate him after getting specific information.
