Goa priest, mob booked for murder attempt on policemen

Panaji - The Goa police on Sunday booked Fr. Romano Gonsalves, parish
priest from Velim in south Goa, six others (including members of the
committee of a local Church), and a mob of 1,500 people for attempt
to murder five policemen on Saturday.
Two constables admitted to Margoa hospital are still under
observation, one suffered skull fracture. Two CRPF Jawans and one CID
Sub-Inspector were discharged by the hospital on Sunday.
The policemen had gone to get an update on a recent incident where
election authorities raided the priest's resident following an
election-related complaint, which turned out to be false. This
invited strong reaction from the priest and the parishioners of the
village. The people were upset over what they say lowered the dignity
of the parish priest.
According to reports reaching here late on Sunday evening from Velim
village, some villagers gathered near the Church after getting the
information about the registration of police cases relating to the
Saturday assault. But no untoward incident was reported.
Police officials told The Hindu on Sunday that the village was tense
but peaceful and regular mass was being held at the church.
The fact-finding team of CID had gone to the village on the
directives of the Election Commission officials to get an update on
the situation in the wake of warnings by the people that unless the
personnel involved, including Income Tax officials, tendered an
unconditional apology and divulged the name of the complainant, they
would boycott the elections.
Police sources admitted that the timing of approaching the priest at
around 9 p.m. in view of the already vitiated atmosphere in the
village was a mistake.
But it was necessary as the CID branch of the police had been asked
to give an update at a meeting between the police and the EC team
scheduled on Sunday.
When the CID team arrived at the church at around 8.45 p.m. on
Saturday, Fr. Gonsalves and assistant parish priest demanded to see
their identity and other papers.
Suddenly some of the locals started ringing the church bells
suspecting another raid. As the word of policemen being present in
the church spread, a crowd, which was attending an election public
meeting nearby, rushed to the church and attacked the police team.
Police force from the nearby Cuncolim police station reached along
with CRPF jawans and rescued the policemen.

tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah" <***@this.com>, and issues
*death threats* to people), is priming himself for conditions such as
stroke and heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <***@gmail.com> who displays
unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and the instigator who
posts as "Bholu" <***@hotmail.com>
The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse through eternal-
september.org and by writing someone else's name or handle in the
"From:" header -- their favorite now is "***@gmail.com" (note
the extra "b" and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "***@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for many years.
