Panaji:
An application has been moved against Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parikkar to investigate his role in the alleged suicide of Dattatraya Bhave, a mines and geology official, who was suspended after the Shah Commission report on illegal mining was tabled in Parliament.
Congress leader Sudip Tamankar has submitted the application at the Ponda police station to register a First Information Report (FIR) against Mr Parrikar and the director of Mines and Geology Prasanna Acharya in connection with the alleged suicide.
The 54-year-old geologist, who was under suspension since September 11, was found hanging at his residence in Ponda town, about 30 kms from Panaji, on September 21.
Mr Bhave's family had alleged that he was humiliated, mentally tortured and harassed by the department after suspension, which forced him to take the extreme step.
The application stated that the Chief Minister had humiliated Mr Bhave which drove him to commit suicide.
The application also states that Mr Parikkar's role should be investigated and he should be booked for abetment to suicide.
