Panaji: The Goa Police issued a lookout notice against noted pop singer Remo Fernandes after he failed to appear before investigating officers today in connection with a case filed against him for allegedly threatening a minor girl.
"We have issued a lookout notice against Remo. He was summoned twice but did not present himself before the investigating officer," said Agassaim Police Inspector Jivba Dalvi, who is probing the case.
The 62-year-old award-winning artist was summoned to the police station this evening after he abstained from appearing before them on Monday due to his Europe tour.
Police had issued him summons through the foreign embassy after cops came to know yesterday that Mr Fernandes has surrendered his Indian citizenship and embraced Portuguese nationality.
Mr Fernandes is booked under Section 8 of Goa Children's Act for allegedly verbally abusing and threatening the girl at the state-run Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) on December 3, where she is undergoing treatment.
Mapusa Police have booked Johan for rash driving while Agassaim police has filed a complaint against Mr Fernandes for abusing the girl. They have already recorded the statement of the girl and her elder sister, both natives of neighbouring Malvan town in Maharashtra.
