PANAJI
Roy Naik, son of former Goa Home Minister and current Congress MLA Ravi Naik, was interrogated for an hour and a half by Crime Branch officials today in connection with a police-politician drug-mafia nexus probe.
Roy Naik, who was an appointed officer on special duty (OSD) in the Ravi Naik-led Home Ministry during the last Congress-led alliance government from 2007-2012, features in a 2013 legislative committee report and is accused of having alleged connection with the drug trade in Goa.
“Roy Naik was questioned based on the findings of the legislative committee report which was tabled in the state legislative assembly in 2013. If needed, we will be calling him again, along with others whose names have appeared in the report,” a Goa Police Crime Branch official said.
Roy Naik refused to respond to questions from journalists as he exited the Crime Branch office near Panaji, following his questioning which lasted for nearly 90 minutes.
