A local court on Monday extended the police custody of former Goa Education minister and expelled Congress legislator Atanasio Monserratte by three days in connection with the case of buying and raping of a minor girl.
The state Crime Branch produced Monserratte before District and Sessions Judge B P Deshpande as the three-day remand granted to him by Judicial Magistrate First Class expired on Monday. Monserratte, who has been booked under POSCO Act, has been arrested for allegedly buying and raping a 16-year-old girl.
