The sex scandal in Goa in which the son of a BJP councillor is accused of raping minor girls, filming their obscene videos and circulating those involves more than 100 victims and the police were initially reluctant to register a case, the state’s Congress chief Amit Patkar said on Saturday. ADVERTISEMENT"The number of victims exceeds 100,” Patkar alleged at a media conference during a protest march organised by the Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress Committee. This sex scandal is much bigger than what it is being made out to be." The Curchorem police were initially reluctant to register the case and did so only after pressure from local residents,” Patkar said. “Why have Goa State Women's Commission, Goa State Commission for Protection of Child Rights and state education department not swung into action as yet?”An official of the Goa police’s crime branch, which is investigating the case, told PTI that three girls have come forward with complaints so far.
