Former Goa Tourism Minister Fransisco Mickey Pacheco will be moving for anticipatory bail in High Court on Monday.
Goa bench of Bombay High Court will also hear the anticipatory bail petition filed by Pacheco’s aide, Lyndon Monteiro tomorrow.
Both were denied relief by session court in Margao, last week.
The former minister in his earlier bail petition had claimed that he was being framed in the entire case.
Pacheco is on the run after he was questioned by Crime Branch in connection with the death of his 28-year-old friend Nadia Torrado.
Monteiro, his close aide and officer on special duty, is also missing since June 6 after he was charged for destroying evidence in this case.
Nadia had died on May 30 while being treated in a private hospital at Chennai.
Crime Branch on Saturday had questioned Pacheco’s live-in partner Viola Fernandes, who had given clean chit for him.
She had said that Pacheco is innocent and she herself was present in Mumbai when Nadia was shifted to a hospital there.
