Pacheco to move HC

Panaji, June 13
Former Goa Tourism Minister Fransisco Mickey Pacheco will move the high court for anticipatory bail tomorrow. The Goa bench of the Bombay High Court will also hear the anticipatory bail petition filed by Pacheco’s aide Lyndon Monteiro tomorrow.

Both were denied relief by the session court at Margao last week.

The former minister in his earlier bail petition had claimed that he was being framed in the case. Pacheco is on the run after he was questioned by the crime branch in connection with the death of his 28-year-old friend Nadia Torrado.

Monteiro, Pacheco’s close aide and officer on special duty, has also been missing since June 6 after he was charged with destroying evidence in the case.

Nadia had died on May 30 while being treated in a private hospital in Chennai. — PTI
