Panaji: Two days after writing to the Calangute police seeking to withdraw a case of rape against Rohit Monserrate and sexual harassment against Warren Alemao, the German woman now wants justice for her daughter.
People close to her said she is “under tremendous stress but wants justice for her daughter”. The woman had a closed-door meeting with SP (North) Bosco George and investigating officer PI Tushar Vernekar on Tuesday afternoon. Though details of the conversation are not known, the mother appeared relaxed and the police seemed confident after the meeting.
“She had come and she did meet us. As far as I know, she has no grievance against police investigations. We will continue with the investigations,” said George. The German mother had met him first on Monday afternoon, soon after his meeting with the German consul general Walter Stechel. She met the SP again on Tuesday.
However, her counsel Aires Rodrigues was unaware of the latest developments. He said, “She has not told me anything. She has not informed me that she had gone to meet SP (North).

I don’t know what they discussed.” Cops hope German mom will cooperate

Panaji: Police sources on Tuesday said that they were confident that the German woman who has levelled rape charges against the education minister’s son Rohit would now cooperate with the cops in the investigation. This statement gains significance as the police had said that the biggest hurdle they were facing in the investigation was the lack of cooperation from the mother and daughter.
The police have been trying to attach the hard disk of the computer used by her daughter to communicate with Rohit and have visited her house several times. But the German woman was unavailable on each occasion. The police also want more information from the minor girl to substantiate the evidence against the accused and had asked for a convenient date. That too has not been fixed. They had also requested the mother to accompany the daughter to identify the place where she had been sexually assaulted but she has so far refused to accept the letter.
Meanwhile, Rohit, who was granted bail by the children’s court, reported to the investigating officer on Tuesday from 10 am to 1 pm, in keeping with the court’s order.
