1 held for abusing police at Maina

MARGAO: Tense moments were witnessed at Maina, Salcete, Wednesday evening, following an accident involving a two-wheeler and a rickshaw. Sources said that as the accident led to a traffic jam, Leicer Faleiro charged towards the policemen conducting the panchanama and started abusing them.
People gathered at the site, and annoyed at the behaviour of Faleiro, demanded that the police immediately arrest him for creating trouble at the accident site.
Sensing trouble, Margao PI Gurudas Kadam and DySP Mohan Naik rushed to the site and tried to pacify the crowd. The people relented when the police reassured the crowd that Faleiro has promised to surrender. He was taken into custody late Wednesday evening and placed under arrest.
