This complaint was filed against Colva PSI Vibhinav Shirodkar before the complaint filed by the couple in the truck-bike collision case where they said they were allegedly brutally beaten by PSI Shirodkar with baseball bats.
Vilma Cardozo said that a family member had filed a complaint against her. Thereafter Vikas Sharma and three lady constable came to her residence. They asked her to come to the police station. When she was phoning for help, Vikas Sharma caught her hand, snatched her cellphone and 100 pounds and her ATM card and two other cards which were in the phone cover.
When she went to the police station to ask for her phone she alleged that PSI Shirodkar told her to write a dictated statement, which she refused. Then she alleged that he started shouting at her. Thereafter on 12 May 2024, he filed the case against PSI Vibhinav and Vikas Sharma with Colva police station, DySP & SP South, but no action was taken.
She got her phone only after she approached the court. But till now she has not got the card and 100 pounds. They also formatted her phone, Vilma said.
Now she has approached MLA Venzy Viegas to fight her case, since he had taken up the couple’s case, she said.
