PONDA: At least 25 villagers from Bottar Sacorda in Dharbandora taluka marched to Collem police station on Tuesday afternoon seeking the immediate arrest of Vasudev Kudshekar and his son Ravindra in connection with an alleged assault case.
The duo were booked for allegedly assaulting their neighbour Suryakant Girodkar over a frivolous issue of wooden fencing on their pathway on Tuesday.
Collem police inspector Prajyot S Fadte said the accused are at large and have approached the South Goa district and sessions court at Margao for anticipatory bail.
According to the complaint lodged by Radhika, Girodkar’s wife, the petty scuffle was triggered as the accused were erecting a wooden pole fencing around their property, and had also covered the pathway that leads to Girodkar’s property.
Her husband had requested the accused to leave their pathway open, but instead the accused assaulted him with a weapon, Radhika stated.
