Aam Admi Party in Goa has demanded from anti-corruption branch of state police to come out with a list of cases registered by the agency over a period of time and their current status.
"There are so many cases registered by the ACB in the past. Some cases were tagged as sensational, but we didn't hear anything about them," AAP leader Elvis Gomes told reporters today.
He demanded from ACB to provide a list of cases registered by the agency and the status of investigations.
"There are several cases which have been pending for years together. Some were booked before year 2012. Two state governments have come to power after that, but there is no progress on those cases," Gomes said.
He was reacting to the arrest of North Goa Additional District Collector Sabaji Shetye by ACB yesterday for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 25,000 to extend an official favour to a citizen.
"Around two years back, a peon attached to Director of Transport office was arrested while accepting bribe. What happened to that case? Why there is no further progress in the investigation of that case?" he questioned.
Gomes, who unsuccessfully contested the assembly elections held earlier this year, was booked by ACB in connection with a land grab case along with former Tourism minister Nilkant Halarnkar.
