CANACONA: The Canacona JMFC Court remanded seven locals, including a policeman, to 14 days judicial custody in connection with the assault on three Andhra tourists and the burning of their car at Palolem late Saturday night.
According to Canacona police, the accused remanded to judicial custody are Arun Komarpant, Ajay Komarpant, Rupesh Komarpant, Abhay Komarpant, Shakeel Komarpant, Axon Gonsalves and Rajdeep Tubki.
Incidentally, it is learnt that one accused is a policeman, working as a Battalion policeman with the IRB.
It may be recalled that Canacona police had arrested the accused at various locations in the taluka, after they were accused of badly assaulting one Venkatraman Reddy and two other colleagues and setting their car on fire.
Canacona police produced all seven accused in the JMFC court on Monday evening amidst tight security, as a large number of people were reportedly present in the court premises.
Noticing the presence of a huge crowd in and around the JMFC court premises, a team of about 100 policemen were stationed at the site. The seven accused were brought in a vehicle from the police station to the JMFC court, a walking distance between the two places.

Dear Deep , if we lived in a perfect world in Goa then I would agree to your comments. If you live in Goa for sure you must have witnessed the uncivil behaviour of Indian tourists visiting Goa. A vast majority of them have no dencency and behave badly espicially under the influence of Alchohol. For you kind information I have seen this behaviour two decades back when I lived in my home land and ever since I have visited the place on holidays. One of my sister was once a victim of their stupid behaviour many years back. If you may recall few months back in Bardez , a little girl who was with her father, having all the confidence in the world having her father around , was being snatched by a group of Indian tourists , had it not been for the alert father and people around this girl would have been kidnapped by these tugs , raped and probably killed. So much of crime as we read on the papers caused in the name of tourism. Please do not call these locals uneducated , I hail from Canacona and their names suggest that they are locals belonging to a great class of people , who are peace loving and very hospitable , but however will retaliate if advantage is taken. I am positive that there must have been reasons for their actions. Also please do not compare the racial actions of that happening in Australia to this incident. Young students going to persue studies are attacked unprovoked. I feel your comments are very unfare. Fore sure there must be decent domestic tourists , however that does not mean that all are decent. Also let me ask you , do tourists in other parts on India experience the same security and hospitality of that they enjoy in Goa? So many Goans are victims of physical assault while visiting places in India.
If I may add to my previous comments , for sure Deep I do not support voilence and arson and let the law take its course against these youths , however your initials comments suggested that all is fine and dandy in goa with tourists which is definetely not the case. It is very obvious that these guys get over excited once in goa and are for most of the time under the influence of alchohol. Also no way can this crime be compared to that what happens in australia as deep has compared.
