Panaji, Aug 12 (IANS) The Goa Police on Thursday issued a public appeal urging people not to broadcast photos of the remains of a 19-year-old girl, who was found in a semi-naked state at the popular Calangute beach earlier in the day.
The deceased, a resident of Nachinola village in North Goa, was missing since Wednesday morning and a missing complaint was filed by her father with a local police station.
"In an unfortunate incident reported at Calangute today, the dead body of a female was found at Calangute Beach. The matter is under investigation by District North Goa Calangute and Mapusa police station," the North Goa district police said in a statement.
"It is therefore requested to all persons to refrain from transmitting images of the dead body of the female as it is not only against the law but is also hurtful to the sentiments of the grieving family of the deceased woman," the statement also said.
Police also said that the body had been sent to a government hospital for a post mortem.
The model told police that she had met the accused 15-20 days ago in Delhi and that they had promised her to arrange a meeting with a film and TV director in Mumbai.
Police said the girl was with her mother and younger sister, who are undergoing treatment at the Mother and Child Health Care Centre (MCH) of the District Headquarters Hospital.
Kulbhushan Jadhav met his wife and mother for the first time on Monday since he was sentenced to death eight months ago by Pakistan on espionage charges that India says are concocted.
The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed a Bill that criminalises instant divorce with three years of imprisonment for Muslim husbands after the government rejected an overwhelming demand from the Opposition to refer the legislation to a Parliamentary standing committee for detailed consideration.
I am fully confident that this entire House and through this House, the people of India, strongly condemn in one voice the obnoxious behaviour of Pakistan and affirm their solidarity with the Jadhav family
