When casinos get perceived as breeding ground of crimes but solution is deflective...l

How Anil Counto creates discourse of rising crime in Goa rooted in Goa's gambling "industry"

Click here for his online interview.

He traces cause of current high profile criminality -dacoity - in Goa to Casino industry in Goa. 

However solution he prescribes is digital hyper surveillance that is meant to create dystopia State invading privacy massively.

If the cause of crime in Goa is Casino industry then solution should have been dismantling of that industry.

So though he knows the cause as existence of Casinos in Goa yet he still wants them around without crime manifesting around. That logic is weird indeed!

When Living With Daily Rape Threats

Another Moumita Debnath tragedy in the making in Goa?

A neighbor attacked my family & home in Goa, on Oct 19, 2024, while I was in Bombay; he publicly said to send my 12 years old daughter out so that he could rape her. Oct 26, I found that he & an accomplice had lured an underage girl to a lodge & gang-raped her, Oct 4, 2024. I don't have direct evidence, nor info on the victim. Lodge's CCTV, I'm told, is retained for 30 days. If I report to cops, they will usually turn it against me. Yet, I'm against the idea of allowing a serious crime like this to pass unpunished. Oct. 27, I was told that the Perpetrator had boasted that he would rape all three of my daughters. I can't stay here indefinitely, but my wife is terrified. I want the police to arrest the Perp, but today's the 10 day, & no punitive action as yet. In absence of arrest, main Perpetrator Damodar Naik @ Vishant, & secondary Perpetrator Arun Naik are emboldened.

They're intimidating visitors to my house, even the electrician who came to repair my ceiling fan!
