A day after six women, all foreign nationals, escaped from a state-run Protective Home, the Goa government today ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident and sought a report within six days.
"I have ordered inquiry into the incident. Such an escape is a matter of a grave concern," Women and Child Development (WCD) Minister Dilip Parulekar told PTI.
He said Women and Child Development department director Shilpa Shinde will inquire into the entire incident and submit the report within six days to him.
"We will ensure that there are foolproof arrangements so that such escapes don't re-occur. If there are some faults in the system or design of the protective home, they would be rectified. As far as the escape is concerned, if anyone is found guilty, that person would be dealt with seriously," he said.
Nine women had escaped the protective home located near here on Monday night after assaulting the staff, including a woman constable who was on duty outside the facility.
Old Goa Police who were immediately informed about the incident had managed to arrest three women, while six others, including four Bangladeshi and one each from Nepal and Turkey, are still missing.
