Police have stepped up vigil and intensified patrolling in Goa in the wake of the blast in Delhi, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on November 12. A high-intensity blast ripped through a slow-moving car outside Delhi’s Red Fort area on November 10, claiming the lives of 12 people.<\/p>\n

“Alerts have been sounded in all states following the blast. Inspections and checks have been increased everywhere, including Goa. We have taken precautionary measures to maintain law and order,” the chief minister said.<\/p>\n

He said the investigation will unravel the chain of events leading to the blast.\u00a0“The Union Home Minister had personally inspected the incident site and met the victims”, he added.<\/p>\n

Known as the beach capital of India, Goa is a favourite destination for domestic and international tourists. Tourists flock to Goa in large numbers from November to March, which includes New Year celebrations and the International Film Festival of India.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Goa police arrested three men from neighbouring Karnataka, days after a viral social media video showed them allegedly harassing two female foreign tourists on a beach, officials said on November 12.<\/p>\n

The video showed the men trying to click photographs with the women and forcing them to pose with their hands on their (men’s) shoulders on Arambol beach in North Goa.<\/p>\n

Considering the sensitivity of the matter and its impact on the perception of tourist safety in the state, the Goa Tourist Police lodged a complaint on the basis of the video clip, an official said.<\/p>\n

Based on the complaint, the Mandrem police registered an FIR under sections 126 (2) (wrongful restraint) and 74 (assault or the use of criminal force against a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), on November 7, he said.<\/p>\n

A special team from the Mandrem police station launched a massive manhunt, and traced the accused to Mysuru and Bengaluru in Karnataka with the help of technical surveillance and local sources, he said.<\/p>\n

The arrested persons have been identified as Karthik B R (28), B N Santhosha (33) and Ravi B N, all residents of Ravandur Hobli in Piriyapatna Bhoganahalli of Mysuru district, he said.<\/p>\n

They were apprehended from their native place by the police team. The details of the operation were not disclosed earlier to avoid alerting the suspects, the police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
