Panaji: RG MLA Viresh Borkar filed a CBI complaint against Sadiq Dodamandi over alleged irregularities involving 1 lakh sqm of land at Azossim-Mandur, St Andre.Borkar urged the CBI to also investigate the role of state govt officials, particularly revenue department officials, in the multi-crore scam.“There are loopholes in the revenue department. Nothing can happen without the involvement of revenue department officers. The joint mamlatdar III was the custodian for this land. Now, whether he allowed this to happen because someone put pressure on whoever the person was or whether something else happened, I don’t know,” said Borkar.The RG MLA met the CBI additional superintendent to brief him about the land grab cases going on in Azzosim.“Dodamani has attempted to add his name through tenancy rights on comunidade land. He is trying to grab and capture comunidade land that was protected by the villagers. We have requested the CBI to conduct a thorough investigation, whether it is a political figure, a govt officer or whoever it may be,” said Borkar.He also called for time-bound action against everyone involved in land grab in the state.“No matter who it is, even if it is my brother, if something is wrong then action has to be taken,” said Borkar, as he also sent a subtle message to the RG rebel camp. The warring faction of the RG led by Ajay Kholkar has attempted to target Borkar by alleging that Borkar is shielding his violent brother.
