The Anjuna Police is known to turn a blind eye to instances of robbery, murder and drugs. In Oct 2007, 6 of us were robbed at Chapora Fort, but the cops refused to register an F.I.R. After spending 2 days at the police station insisting that they register an F.I.R, they finally did so. However, the tables turned on us as rather than investigating the theft, they started interrogating us. When we protested, they said that since we registered the F.I.R, these formalities will need to be completed. They called us regularly to ask us our parents names. When asked what was going on with our investigation, they said that they could not find the culprit. They even told us to forget the money as even if we got it, we would not be able to claim that it was our money and hence, forego it and leave it with the cops. They also expressed their inability to nab someone as they stated" we can't touch anybody. We will need to appeal to people to return the goods. If they come up and confess, we might get the goods back.". Is this why we have a police force? If you like to trace the matter, it's F.I.R no. 69/07.
