Is goa getting dangerous for tourist???
Goa has always been a tourist place for foreigners.As history says, its fame has very obviously been quite high that it had made possible for itself to become de shooting spot for more than a couple of hollywood movies. But very recently Goa is also becoming quite famous for few unhealthy reasons like abusing, molestation, sexual assault, murder, ravishment etc. This has created the speculation among the tourist from the west to have a second thought of visiting goa nd chilling out. More recently was the death of Scarlett Keeling(in pic), de 15 yrs old british tourist. She has made to India with her mom(Fiona) intending to stay back in India for 6 months. But unfortunately, Fiona had to discover her daughter's semi-nude dead body on feb 18th 08 as de goa police identified her on the shore of goa beach.
The goa cop then immediately started their investigation about the death of the britain female. nd quite safely ended up saying she was over drunk nd drowned. But the doctor who conducted the first autopsy, claimed dat the police had ignored his suggestion dat Scarlett would have been killed. Adding to the fuel was the claim of Scarlett's mom, who said her daughter never had the habit of using drugs. This resulted in the suspension of the superintend of goa police for lack of proper investigation. Very lately the goa police had found the personal diary of Scarlett(confirmed by mom fiona herself), in which she had written about her desire for late night parting, alcohols nd sex. She had also written about her last experience with one of her friends before she had left for India. All these have reopened the case of Scarlett.
Anyway, dis is not the only case in which goa has had problems. There has also been few other murders of britain females in quite succession. The goa government has indeed laid few harsh rules of closing bars by 11 PM, over 100 police in surveillance etc. Inspite of these actions by the governement, the tourists are feeling unsecured and they hardly think of returning back to India and goa especially. This will end up in reducing the revenue generated by the tourist every year. Hope this situation at Goa wuld change nd tourist remain flocked-in every yr(atleast till I visit Goa ..lol)
