Former Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat on Tuesday evaded police summons asking him to be present at the Crime Branch in connection with the Louis Berger-JICA water project bribery case.

Crime Branch officials said they would send the Congress leader fresh summons again on Wednesday.

Speaker Rajendra Arlekar told The Hindu on Tuesday that the police had served summons on Mr. Kamat after intimating him.
