Smriti Irani case: Goa cops likely to question top Fabindia officials today

NEW DELHI: Goa Police are likely to question top Fabindia officials on Saturday in connection with the Smriti Irani case even as chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar said there was need to find out if the act of recording footage was intentional or done unknowingly.
"It's a very unfortunate incident. We have to find out if the act that happened is intentional, purposeful or unknowingly because such cameras are often displayed in shops," Parsekar said.
Meanwhile, the four people arrested in the case were produced in court.

A decision on their remand will be taken later in the day.
Union human resource development minister Smriti Irani on Friday reported voyeurism to Goa police after a CCTV camera recorded her while she tried out some clothes at the Fabindia outlet in Candolim, a tourist spot 15km from Panaji.
Later, an FIR was lodged on the basis of the CCTV camera footage.
Irani probably saw the camera in the mirror and turned towards it, because the video footage shows her turning towards the camera and then storming out of the trial room, sources later said.
Rushing out of the cubicle and raising an alarm, Irani and her husband confronted the staff of the store and demanded they be shown the CCTV footage. Zubin is learnt to have also called up the local BJP MLA Michael Lobo, who called the police.
