St. Cruz shootout: Local MLA wants police to not hassle local youth

Police are picking up youth from St Cruz and Merces. We won't interfere in police investigation but we won't allow police to trouble our youth without any reasons, St Cruz MLA Tony Fernandes stressed on Friday. We'll talk to the Chief Minister and will also raise this issue in the assembly, he said.

Early morning gunfire and attack on a house at St Cruz shocked people recently. During the scuffle, Sonu Yadav succumbed to a bullet injury fired by his own gang member.

The police have started picking up people in this connection as part of the investigation. Zenito Cardozo from St Cruz who was involved in many unsavoury incidents has applied for anticipatory bail. The hearing is on.
