Panaji, March 24 The investigation into the alleged sexual exploitation of girls, in which the son of a BJP councilor has been arrested, has been handed over to the Crime Branch, a senior official of the Goa Police said.
None of the victims have come forward to file a complaint against the accused, but the Curchorem Crime Branch will reach out to them, he said.
The Curchorem Police in the Kushavati district arrested Soham Naik (20), the son of local councilor Sushant Naik, on March 22 under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Goa Children's Act for allegedly filming and circulating obscene videos of girls.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal used X to target the ruling party over the issue.
"What kind of people are in the BJP? In Goa, a very disturbing case has come to light, where the son of a BJP councilor has been sexually exploiting 30 minor girls for three years, filming them, and blackmailing them. The BJP has turned people's lives in Goa into a nightmare. Everyone is living in fear," he said.
"Protecting such monsters is fatal for society. The guilty must receive the harshest possible punishment, and the victims must get justice. No one should even think of doing this again," the former Delhi chief minister said.
