GIRL-LD ARREST 2 LT

"I am personally monitoring the case. Goa is safe for
tourists. There is no need to worry," Kamat told a TV channel.
Referring to the statement of State Tourism Minister
Fransisco Pacheco, who demanded that the Home Minister be
changed, Kamat said ministers talking against government
should realise that they are part of it and should exercise
some restraint.
Reacting to the arrest, Vikram Varma, counsel for
Russian consulate in Goa told PTI that "This arrest is a
welcome step in the right direction. The state must come down
with a heavy hand in crimes against women and children."
Varma said conviction rate in crimes against
foreigners was disturbing. "Hopefully this arrest and the
quality of investigations provided by a good leadership in the
Goa Police would be detrimental towards future crimes against
women and children".
A senior police officer said that state police has
intensified efforts to nab Aman, who is on the run.
"We are in touch with our counterparts in Maharashtra,
Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. Aman’s photograph has been sent
to all the police stations," he said.
Two police teams have also been dispatched to Belgaum
and Mumbai to track down the accused, he added. PTI
