Goa Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Sanjay Goel says data has been collected and field verification is underway following GFP chief Vijai Sardesai’s complaint alleging that over 50 voters were unlawfully shifted from Curtorim to Fatorda electoral rolls. Goel said he would comment after receiving the detailed report. • The Chief Medical Officer of Goa Medical College has filed medical certificates of the protesters in a sealed cover. Of the seven detained protesters, six volunteered for medical examination after being released by the police. The High Court will next hear the matter on November 3. • One person died and several others were injured after a tempo traveller rammed into the rear of a water tanker watering plants on Goa’s Western Bypass at Mungul. The impact reportedly caused the tempo traveller to lose control. • BJP Goa President Damu Naik criticised Rahul Gandhi over his alleged disrespect towards the Kunbi shawl, saying his body language reflected a lack of respect for Goan traditions. He urged Gandhi to learn about Goan culture and Rakhonn Sanskar, while claiming the Goy Rakhon Yatra had failed to make an impact on the people of Goa. • CM Sawant says Rahul Gandhi’s 10-minute walk will have no impact on Goa, questioning why he did not speak about his government’s work for the state. He also criticised Gandhi over the Kunbi shawl incident, contrasting it with PM Modi wearing the traditional shawl throughout the programme. • Rajasthan’s Anti-Gangster Task Force and Kota Police have arrested all three alleged shooters in the Tiger Shroff firing case at Kota railway station. Two accused are from Haryana, while the third is from Maharashtra. • A 50-year-old construction worker, Huchhappa Sonakappa of Dabolim, died after a wooden plank from a construction lift on the building’s third floor fell on him at a site near MES College, Zuarinagar. He sustained head injuries and was declared brought dead at SDH Chicalim. • Unknown accused allegedly broke the main door lock of a house in Davorlim between October 16 and 17 and stole gold ornaments, a silver bar and coins worth Rs 4,56,173. • A Margao man allegedly lost Rs 4,20,100 after clicking a suspicious SMS link purportedly sent by Bank of India regarding his pension. Malicious apps were reportedly installed on his phone, followed by multiple unauthorised IMPS transactions from his bank account. • Bank of Baroda, Margao, has filed a complaint alleging that three Kundaim residents fraudulently obtained credit facilities worth Rs75 lakh between 2014 and 2023 by mortgaging a property allegedly already mortgaged with EDC Ltd. and later sold at auction. The accused allegedly concealed the prior mortgage and used the same title documents to secure the loan, causing a purported loss of Rs 75 lakh to the bank.
