The North Goa police on Wednesday arrested nine tourists from Pune for molesting a minor girl, assaulting her minor brother and rioting at Baga.
Inspector Jivba Dalvi, in charge of Calangute police station, said, “The tourists were sitting in a shack when they saw the boy and girl on the beach and started to take the girl’s pictures. When the siblings objected to this, the tourists beat them up.”
Ramesh Kamble, Sanket Bhadale, Krishna Patil, Satyam Lambe, Aniket Gurav, Rishikesh Gurav, Akash Suvaskar, Sunny More and Ishwar Pangare, were caught while attempting to escape. “We have sent the mobile phone from which the photos were taken for forensic examination,” Mr. Dalvi said.
