Ex-Goa Min abuses man on beach

PANAJI: A video of former Goa tourism minister Francisco Mickky Pacheco purportedly abusing a man on the Utorda beach in south Goa has gone viral. The video purportedly shows Pacheco driving his car on the beach, which is prohibited as per local laws. Denying that he abused the man, later identified as Melroy D’Souza, the former minister said D’Souza was a “Portuguese national and his political rival” who “chased” his car in a jeep.
