PANAJI: With “muddemal” property going missing, the Vasco police on Thursday registered a case against three policemen. Muddemal property consists of items used in a crime and recovered from the accused, and attached under a panchnama in the presence of the accused.

The muddemal property in question is evidence in a murder case and its disappearance could severely dilute the prosecution’s case. SP South Allen D’Sa told TOI, “As soon as the SDPO (Vasco) brought the matter to my notice, I instructed them to register a case of forgery, cheating and criminal misappropriation against those concerns.”
