#Goa Police

[orbis2d]

Y'all wanted the Pokemon Au y'all getting the Pokemon au, explanations for the Pokemon and more Au info under the cut. Feel free to put questions about the Au in my Ask box

The Au is focused on Pirate captains being Pokemon trainers and their crew their Pokemon, with exceptions like non pirate characters who have Pokemon based on their personalitys.

The world is a mix out of the op world and Pokemon universe, so instead of canon Pokemon regions the regions are based of the op islands, as an example, Luffy is from the Goa Region and travels to other Regions like the Alabasta region or Wano region, in order to beat the strongest trainers in each place he visits in order to become world champion.

Luffys team

Zoro as Chine-Pao: Zoro is often associated with tigers (big cats) and obviously his swords. Luffy also meets him for the first time while he is tied up, wich can parallel how you optain a Chien-Pao wich is locked away

Nami as Liepard: Luffy would meet Nami as a Purloin, wich are known for tricking and stealing from people, her title is also “Cat burgler”

Usopp as Inteleon: Luffy would meet Usopp as a Wobble, since he's such a coward at the start of the series. He would evolve into Drizzile during Water 7 and latter into Inteleon. Inteleon was kind of a no brainer since it's the only sniper Pokemon.

Sanji as Cinderac: Cinderace's Signature move is a Flame kick of sorts. Luffy would meet him as a Raboot, and evolves intomCinderace during Enies Lobby. (British opla sanji…)

Chopper as Sawsbuck: Reindeer, Cheery blossoms.

Robin as Runerigus: Robin is an archaeologists who specifies in finding all of the poneglyphs so her Pokemon being made out off rune tablets makes a lot of sense. Plus the ghost typing can be a hint to her title of “Devil child”

Franky as Blastoise: Franky is basically a weapon himself so making him the literal Tank turtle makes sense to me, also remember the Squirtle with the sunglasses? yeah.

Brook as Houndstone: There aren't a lot of skeleton Pokemon so there was little choice. Houndstones is part of the Ghost gym leaders team, who is a Musician.

Jinbei as Empoleon: Jinbei used to be one of the seven warlords of the sea and is a very honorable person wich works with the personality of Empoleons. He's also shown using a Trident as a weapon.

Kobys team

Milotic: Both of them start of as ugly little loser boys but have one hell of a glow up /affectionate + Milotic would be a great swimming buddy.

Lycanroc: (dog boy koby is so real to me) Dog Pokemon, though more commonly Arcanine, are used as police Pokemon, most likely given to him by Garp.

Gallade: The Fighting type fits Kobys swinging hand approach well and the Psychic type his Observation haki plus being quite the noble Pokemon.

Togekiss: A flying type to reference his Moonwalk ability and generally seeming like a Pokemon would put the effort into raising.

Lucario: dog.. Again, Another Pokemon I feel like Koby would put the effort into raising, fighting type, and the Aura gimmick just matches the vibe as well yk.

Blissey: A healer Pokemon that would assist both hurt trainers and Pokemon, god knows it's good to have one on you when you travel with Luffy.

I love the way you drew little Sabo. So cute. Precious little gremlin child.

But I must ask a bit of angst question.

How did Croc react to Sabo explaining what his bio parents were like? I can see both Croc and Dragon reacting badly to how Sabo was treated in the past.

:D ♥

Sabo would stick to the story that he gave Ace - that he's an orphan who was living alone in the Grey Terminal. Since they're both still young kids Ace instantly buys that story.

Dragon on the other hand has questions. He knows Goa well enough to be able to tell that his clothes and his way of speaking hint towards a noble upbringing. And even if he is orphaned, he wouldn't have been cast out into the Grey Terminal.

And Outlook III and Didit certainly went to the police when their kid went missing. It's likely that he gets his hands on the police report or at least a note in the newspaper. But he might not approach Sabo about it and wait for Crocodile to come home to talk about it.

Because taking in a missing noble child has the potential to be dangerous for them, they don't need police to come sniffing around Windmill Village.

But when Sabo actually tells them why he ran away and why he can't go back, they probably decide it's worth the risk. (Especially Dragon. He's going to be furious at this child being caged like that by this rotten system. Crocodile probably has to grab his hair to stop him from setting a fire in the upper class district or something other impulsive and unwise of the sort *lol* )

It's a bit tricky. Also because how I'm wrangling the timeline, Sabo is quite a bit too young to really be able to verbalize the emotional neglect and the isolation and how much his parents consider him a tool to be wielded for their ambitions of social advancement. But I think Dragon would understand it for what it is.

It would be easier if neither Crocodile nor Dragon bothered to do any research on the kid but I don't want to make them careless for convenience's sake X3

And we can still pack more angst into it when the burning of the Grey Terminal and he visit of the Celestial Dragon happens 5 years later.

An American woman has been found chained to a tree in an Indian forest where she had been for 40 days, triggering a manhunt for her former husband.

Lalita Kayi Kumar, 49, was found by a shepherd in a forest near Sonurli village, Goa, after he heard her crying for several days.

Unable to speak following her rescue, she wrote a note that alleged her ex-husband had left her to die and that she had been without food for 40 days.

She also claimed she was administered an “injection for extreme psychosis which caused severe jaws locked and inability to drink any water. Need intravenous food later ... husband tied me to a tree in a forest”.

Ms Kumar was found with her legs tied to the tree but her hands unbound. A police officer said she was too weak to unchain herself. There were also reportedly marks from numerous other injuries on her body. She was wearing a see-through raincoat, an olive green shirt and worn-out brown trousers when she was found.

Police have registered a case of attempted murder against her former husband, who is accused of chaining her up before he escaped. Relatives of the couple are being interviewed by police.

Ms Kumar was transferred to Goa Medical College for specialist treatment after doctors raised concerns about her mental health.

A hospital official said: “She is out of danger, but she is suffering from severe depression and other mental health illnesses. We have found medical prescriptions in her possession suggesting she was on antidepressants.”

Documents found on Ms Kumar show that she was a resident of Tamil Nadu, a south Indian state, about 600 miles away from the forest where she was found. It is thought that she had been living in India for the past decade.

Several Dead, Hundreds Injured in Pro-Independence Rallies in New Caledonia

Pro-independence protesters say France's new constitutional reform will dilute the share of the vote held by Kanaks, the Indigenous group that makes up about 41 percent of the population.

At least three people have been killed and hundreds more were injured during a second night of protesting in New Caledonia, authorities said.

Wednesday was the third day of demonstrations against a constitutional reform pushed by Paris that has roiled the archipelago, which has long sought independence.

Despite heavily armed security forces fanning out across the capital Noumea and the ordering of a nighttime curfew, protesting continued until overnight Tuesday virtually unabated.

The reform — which must still be approved by a joint sitting of both houses of the French parliament — would give a vote to people who have lived in New Caledonia for 10 years.

Pro-independence forces say it would dilute the share of the vote held by Kanaks, the Indigenous group that makes up about 41 percent of the population and the major force in the pro-independence movement.

In Noumea and the commune of Paita on Wednesday, there were reports of several exchanges of fire between civil defence groups and protesters.

Security forces regained control of Noumea's penitentiary, which holds about 50 inmates, after an uprising and escape attempt by prisoners, it said in a statement.

Police have arrested more than 130 people since Monday night, with dozens placed in detention to face court hearings, the commission said. About 60 police have been injured, it said.

A nighttime curfew was extended, along with bans on gatherings, the carrying of weapons and the sale of alcohol.

The territory's La Tontouta International Airport remained closed to commercial flights and people were urged to restrict any travel during the day, the high commission said.

Pacific Rivalry

Macron said French lawmakers would vote to definitively adopt the constitutional change by the end of June unless New Caledonia's opposing sides agree on a new text that "takes into account the progress made and everyone's aspirations".

In the Noumea Accord of 1998, France vowed to gradually give more political power to the Pacific island territory of nearly 300,000 people.

As part of the agreement, New Caledonia has held three referendums over its ties with France, all rejecting independence.

As part of the agreement, New Caledonia has held three referendums over its ties with France, all rejecting independence. But the independence movement retains support, particularly among the Indigenous Kanak people.

A New Caledonia pro-independence leader, Daniel Goa, asked people to "go home", and condemned the looting.

But "the unrest of the last 24 hours reveals the determination of our young people to no longer let France take control of them," he added.

Reading Asterion by Alessa Thron, so you don't have to. Chapter two and three.

This is a joint review made by me, and @wordsmithic . I try to do my best at showing parts of our conversetions about this book. Let's thank her for joining this review.

These two chapters were defenetly somthing. But let's start with a few positives.

wordsmithic: - The protagonist looks like she has a clear goal thus far, and she wants to avenge someone she loves

- I am kind of invested in her killing a difficult target, although Asterion will probably end up being the love interest instead of her target. (Which.... I am not too eager to see when those two are siblings in canon.)

- I kind of dig this assassins and spies cutthroat setting (but I don't think we will have it for long)

- Odd as it is, I also like a generic post-apocalyptic setting for Greece. (On the downside, we see little to no Greek culture, mannerisms and ways of speaking, so it doesn't feel like I'm seeing Greek people on the scenes)

And my positives are: -It was short.

-There was one line part that was unintenional funny. It's this:

So now let's get to the rest.

Chapter 3 starts right after starts right after chapter 2. The pithos tells Ariadne that she will recive a packige, and that she has a night to think abiut accepting the commision. So she goas out to eat, and we meat her friend Dimmi, and order some food. And here is where we started getting questions.

wordsmithic: Here we get "saints" out of nowhere, without knowing what the religious situation of the country. For me it came out of nowhere. So, I suppose, the gods DO allow people to hold their old faith? How does this work??

scorpio: This is a good question. The world building so far is kind of messy, or at least unclear. Possably the people were allowed to keep their old faith. I assumed this too.

wordsmithic: I can't pinpoint why, but since meat is such a staple of Greek culture and cuisine, it doesn't make sense to have a strictly vegan diet for every single training assassin. I'm not saying that vegan diets contain no protein but if you want to support the muscles during extreme training meat is a great choice and it's weird they emitted that from the diet. I'm also not sure that it would be great to remove the salt completely but alas, I am not getting paid to analyze that diet more :p

Here I would add that, I looked up, seince then, and most diets that are recomended for training, usually have eather meat, or fish and eggs in them. Anyway. After the talk, Ariadne recives the packige, and goas up into her apartman.

wordsmithic: The writer seems to be under the impression that the espresso in Greece is like in Italy. Well, it is not. Drinking coffee here is a ritual and an espresso is larger, and takes approx. half an hour to drink normally

Then she learns who is her target, and it's Asterion Dys, who is an owner of a night club, where ilegal fights are held. And the reason why the police haven't done anything about it, is because Asterion is conected to the riches people of Stycs, including Hades, and because Hades owns shares in the busniss. Then Ariadne thinks about it, and goas to sleep. After a night of sleeping she wakes up to find fiels on the laptop, about Minos. So Ariadne accepts it.

And now, before we go to chapter 3, let's talk about the names.

wordsmithic: Alessa probably thought Dys sounded so cool, meanwhile it sounds like calling a Benedict "Be". Not to mention, "dys" is solely used as a prefix in Greek and it's not meant to be a whole word. It shows difficulty in doing something. You will recognize it from words like dysentery, disharmony, dyspraxia etc

wordsmithic: I hope "Dimmi" is not short for Dimitra because I will claw my eyes out. And later she calls her "Dim" which makes me want to say "what in the Anglophone hell is this"

scorpio: I had this question too. I looked up "Dimmi" on Behind the Name, and it had zero results.

wordsmithic: Yeah it's probably some anglo-sounding abbreviation... better than Dys tho :P

scorpio: I thought that it was a nickname, but then she called her "Dim", and I started questioning it. I can agree it's batter then that.

wordsmithic: It looks to me to be a nickname as well. She just changes it from Dimmi to Dim, I think. You can also say that you looked it up and found nothing. And people can correct us if they know it's something else

And now. On to chapter 3.

So Ariadne goas to the gym, then she goas to a building where acording to her intell, she can find Asterion in Mercedes Benz. Asterion arrives with two bodygourd, and is talking with a Christian priest, about cherity, and giving money to the orphenige. And here is when we got more questions.

wordsmithic: The Christian hints continue but I would like to know how the old and new religion co-exist. Once polytheists tried to eradicate the Christians and vice-versa, and Christianity is the Greek ethnoreligion for almost two thousand years now. You can't just write "they co-exist" and call it a day. I beg you, Alessa, give us some decent worldbuilding! I like that she didn't completely ignore Greek Orthodoxy, though, like the overwhelming majority of writers out there.

wordsmithic: Asterion seems to discuss with a Christian priest, as well. So he has ties with Hades (as we'll see later) and he has Christian priests close? Again, I don't know what to make of this because I don't know how those two religions coexist. Even worse... now I fear that she kept Greece Christian but placed the gods in Greek society without changing anyone's faith. Which doesn't make sense because when people see an old deity of theirs descend from the skies and save their city, some of them are bound to consider returning to the old faith. Greece has a growing population of agnostics and atheists which may change their mind if they see a literal deity before them.

scorpio: I was questioning this too.

wordsmithic: the whole time reading I was 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷

scorpio: Why is Asterion someone who is close to Hades, is good terms with a Christian priest? So far the book just reads as a stereotypical Mafia romanc, that Alessa decided to add Greek mythgology into, withouth any consideration to how the presents of the Greek gods would affect on anything.

wordsmithic: Exactly! And why would the priest be on good terms with Asterion who is in good terms with Hades! Why is the priest like "ah sure, Hades rules all now" and doesn't see him as the Antichrist or something? I still have no idea what the city looks like. I don't understand why each district differs from the other, I don't know if there are Christian and Polytheist temples around, I am not sure how the people are dressed and what cars roam around - except from that one Mercedes Benz of course. "if there is no alluring Greek mafia, I am gonna make one, dammit, even if I have to raze the country to the ground" - her thoughts probably :p

scorpio: Yes! Also I can't get over the fect that she made the minotaur into just some generic handsome man.

wordsmithic: ooof exactly! you have GODS in this universe but not a half-man half-beast??

So then Ariadne bumps into him. They flirt a bit, then Asterion ends up inviting her to his club.

So yes. There are a lot of problems. The worldbuilding has intresting elements, but it's messy, and seems to be underdeveloped. And the more you think about the more questions you get. Which we may, or may not get answears to, and the answears that we already got seem to not make any sense, and just raise more questions.

One of those questions is why, and how? Why is Asterion just some guy, instead of having the head of a bull? Why doas he have to be Ariadne's love intrest? If you want to write romanc where Ariadne get's together with someone, then Dionysus is right to as a love intrest. How is this city, or world works?

Not to mention the sometimes wierd writing, that honestly remind me of Wattpad.

Let's hope those questions get answears later on, and the at least the city get's to be fleshed out.

Honestly. I just hope that Dionysus apears, and helps Ariadne escapes from this mess of a book. Honestly that would be a a good ending.

She hopes the "Bunad Police" won’t scold the new skater clothes.

A translation of this article (in Norwegian)

For the last year, Embla bunader and the clothes brand SHIT have been working together on the “everyday bunad”. But messing with tradition may stir some strong emotions.

Bunad tradition meets skater culture. Skateboard company SHIT and Embla bunader just dropped their skaters’ collection. Photo: Embla bunader

Article by Håvard Tanche-Larsen Knutsen, Published: 13. July 2020 translated by bunad-daily.tumblr.com

“This is a minefield. One time we made hijab for a bunad, and got death threats,” - manager of Embla bunader: Marianne Lambersøy.

The afformented incident was reported to the authorities, but Lambersøy feels sure that this new idea will not be as contoversial.

The bunad shop, together with the local clothes brand SHIT, have now designed hoodies, t-shirts, and skateboards with bunad designs.

No angry Telemark-folks.

This time, local bunad traditions, like the Frafjord and Jelsa patterns, have been left in peace. Lambersøy does not dare mess with them.

Now, the hoodies, t-shirts and skateboards are adorned with rosemaling. A pattern more common on bunads from Telemark, among other areas.

“Norwegians are fond of their bunad, but it’s a garment we tend to only use two times a year. Other countries are good at using traditional patterns on everyday clothes, like shirts and dresses, but here we find it almost exclusively on bunad. That is why we wish to use the rosemaling on everyday garments,” says Lambersøy.

“Have you recieved any reactions from Telemark-folks yet?”

“No, this is a patented pattern, so it is our own. That way we stear clear of conflic with patterns already in use on bunad.”

Rosemaling: Old craft from the 1700s. Mostly used on chests and beer cans, but eventually used to adorn whole rooms in the form of decorations on shelves, beds, doors, and ceilings. Has been an important source of inspiration for many recent norwegian artists. Rosemaling is common in villages around Hallingdal, Telemark, Numedal, Setesdal, and Vest-Agder. Source: Store Norske Leksikon

Rosemaling-artist was a great help

Frode Goa and Lards Horpestad revived the skater brand SHIT last year. Goa also runs the local clothing brand Kant.

The idea of the skater and bunad brands collaborating occured when he was looking to get his own bunad from Lambersøy a year ago.

"The styles clash a bit, so the challenge was to blend them into something we'd consider great. We're very happy with the result," Goa says.

The duo has gotten great help from Lambersøy's mother in law; Torhild Lambersøy. She has worked with fabrics and fashion since she established her own tailor's shop in Tananger 40 years ago. She was also an active painter of rosemaling, and designed the pattern Goa and Lambersøy use for the clothes and skateboards.

This would be the last project she worked on. She died just before the collection was released.

"In the beginning she was skeptical, but she ended up really enjoying the project. So much so that she sometimes forgot to eat," Lambersøy reminisces with a chuckle.

Goa and Lambersøy stick to rosemaling, a pattern that often appears on bunads from Telemark. They're avoiding patterns from the rogaland-bunad, at least for now.

Not afraid of the "bunad police"

Now, her 12-year-old skates on a board of grandma's design. Old traditional craftsmanship gets to shine in a unique way.

"An original rosemaling design created by a rosemaling expert, used for something so youthful and urban as skateboards and hoodies. It's wild, really," Goa laughs.

"Thoughts on possible reactions from the bunad police?"

"I hope they're overjoyed to see tradition passed on like this. It's real nowergian folk art, is what it is."

"anything else in the works?"

"It's been a really nice project. We're already thinking about it, so there will be more, but we'll have to wait and see what we come up with," Goa concludes.

Thousands of doctors across major cities in India, including the capital, New Delhi, on Tuesday, joined in on protests sparked by the alleged rape and murder of a trainee last week.

A 31-year-old female medical trainee was found dead at one of the largest government hospitals in the eastern city of Kolkata on Friday. Her body sustained multiple injuries and an autopsy report described evidence of sexual violence. 

After the incident, doctors walked off their jobs at government hospitals, demanding better security and safety measures for health workers. The chief of the institution involved, RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, resigned on Monday. 

Protests flare as doctors demand better safety

Protests picked up across government-run facilities in the eastern state of West Bengal, home to Kolkata, on Monday — with doctors saying they would suspend emergency services as well until at least Tuesday. 

"As resident doctors, we are on the frontline and deal with lots of patients, which makes us quite vulnerable to these attacks," Doctor Rajat Sharma, vice president of India's Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA), told DW.

"It's a scary situation which we see working on a daily basis. Doctors in West Bengal are protesting for their rights. We want to have better security for our resident doctors."

Around 75% of doctors in India have faced some form of violence, according to a survey by the Indian Medical Association.

Sharma's FORDA colleague Sarvesh Pandey told Indian media that doctors' demands included a specialized law protecting healthcare workers from violence on the job. 

"There should be stringent security measures in hospitals and CCTV cameras should be installed," he said.

Students at universities in Kolkata also joined in on protests, demanding better safety measures for women in particular.

 Sexual violence against women is a big problem in India.

The National Crimes Records Bureau reported that in 2021, an average of 86 rape cases were registered every day and 49 cases of crime against women lodged every single hour. 

Protests spread to major cities, some services hampered

The incident has struck a nerve in the medical community who have repeatedly said they face threats from angry family members, especially in the case of bad news involving medical issues. 

In the western Maharashtra state, home to financial capital Mumbai, around 8,000 doctors at government hospitals walked off their jobs on Tuesday.

In New Delhi, junior doctors wearing white coats held banners that read "Doctors are not punching bags" as they sat outside a big government hospital to demand an investigation into the incident.

Protests hampered medical services in the city of Lucknow in the most populous state of Uttar Pradesh, as well as in the popular tourist state of Goa.

How have Indian authorities responded?

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday ordered the case to be transferred over to a federal agency, meaning that Kolkata police will have to submit all case documents to the agency.

Kolkata police initially set up a special investigative team and arrested a man in connection with the case.

City police chief Vineet Kumar Goyal told reporters a case had been registered against the suspect under provisions of the law relating to rape and murder.

The National Human Rights Commission on Tuesday sent notices to the director general of police and the chief secretary of West Bengal state, asking for a detailed report within two weeks. 

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met the family of the victim on Monday, telling reporters later that police were "giving utmost importance to the investigation."

The Suchana Seth Case: Unraveling the Enigma of a Mother's Devastating Act

In the wake of the shocking revelation involving Suchana Seth, CEO of a Bengaluru-based start-up, allegedly murdering her four-year-old son, the nation finds itself grappling with a perplexing and tragic tale. As the details of this heart-wrenching incident continue to emerge, numerous questions remain unanswered, further shrouding the case in mystery.

1. Motive behind the Murder: The first and perhaps most haunting question revolves around the motive that propelled Suchana Seth to commit such a heinous act against her own child. Initial police questioning has painted a contradictory picture — Seth, known to love her son deeply, supposedly became possessive after his birth. The estranged husband’s role in the tragedy is cited as a potential motive, with Seth allegedly aiming to prevent him from meeting their son. However, the question lingers: Why would a mother resort to such an extreme step, leading to the tragic demise of her own flesh and blood? Despite her claims of not intending to kill, the motive remains a perplexing enigma.

2. Sudden Trip to Goa: The circumstances surrounding Seth’s impromptu trip to Goa add another layer of complexity to the case. As a Bengaluru-based individual, the choice to travel to Goa, allegedly for the sole purpose of committing the crime, raises numerous questions. With a Bengaluru family court allowing the father to meet the child every Sunday, the motive behind choosing Goa remains unclear. Reports suggest that Seth may have orchestrated this trip to delay the father-son meeting, but the reasons behind this strategy remain elusive.

3. Bloodstains and Cough Syrup Bottles: The crime scene itself presents a myriad of unanswered questions. The discovery of bloodstains in the Goa service apartment, coupled with empty cough syrup bottles, adds a chilling dimension to the tragedy. The post-mortem report indicates that the child was smothered, possibly with a cloth or pillow. The presence of cough syrup bottles raises questions about whether medication was administered to the child before the fatal act. Furthermore, Seth’s attempt to end her own life by slitting her wrist introduces additional complexities, as the origin of the bloodstains in the room is yet to be officially confirmed.

As the Suchana Seth case continues to unfold, each revelation raises more questions than answers. The nation awaits a thorough investigation and a deeper understanding of the factors that led to this heartbreaking incident. The enigma surrounding the motive, the choice of location, and the disturbing details of the crime challenge our comprehension of a mother’s unthinkable act against her own child. In seeking justice for the innocent life lost, the pursuit of truth becomes all the more urgent.

A 50-year-old American woman was found chained to a tree and left to die in a forest in India, police said.

The woman, identified as Lalita Kayi Kumar, was rescued after a shepherd heard her cries on Saturday evening in Sonurli village, located about 450km from India’s financial capital of Mumbai in the south-western state of Maharashtra.

Police registered a case of attempted murder against Ms Kumar’s former husband based on a note scribbled by her at the hospital.

The authorities ascertained her identity and residential address from photocopies of a US passport and a national identity card recovered from her.

”Based on the note written by the woman at the hospital, a case has been registered against her former husband on charges of attempted murder, act endangering life or personal safety of others and wrongful confinement under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS),” Saurabh Agrawal, superintendent of police of Sindhudurg district, said. BNS is India’s official criminal code.

She was transferred to a hospital in the neighbouring state of Goa, Mr Agrawal told the wire agency Press Trust of India. She is “weak” and “not in a position to give her statement”, he said.

Officials do not yet know how long she was left tied to the tree. “The area where she was found had experienced heavy rain,” Mr Agrawal said.

“We have found that the woman, who appears to have been born in the US, had also resided in Goa for some time. We are trying to find out whom she was in touch with in the past few months,” he added.

Police say she appears not to have eaten for several days. The husband, whose name was not disclosed by officials, allegedly hails from Tamil Nadu. Forest inspector Vikas Padve told The Hindu newspaper that while doctors told the authorities she was doing “fine”, Ms Kumar was “suffering from psychiatric issues.

“She is unable to speak and remains under observation,” Mr Padve said.

“She reportedly left her husband after a quarrel,” a police official was quoted as saying by the outlet.

The victim was believed to be living in India for the past ten years, reported the Hindustan Times, quoting officials from the local police station. The authorities have sent a team of investigators to Tamil Nadu and Goa to trace her relatives.

Tourist Dies, 12 Rescued After Boat Capsizes Off Goa’s Calangute Beach 

A tragic incident unfolded off the coast of Goa’s Calangute beach on Wednesday afternoon when a watersports boat carrying tourists capsized. A 45-year-old man from Maharashtra lost his life, while 12 others were rescued in the mishap. 

The boat, carrying 13 people, including the driver, a helper, and 11 members of a family from Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri district, overturned around 12:30 PM, according to coastal police. Authorities reported that the vessel was about 70 meters from the shoreline when its motor allegedly malfunctioned, causing it to flip and get swept by the waves. 

“Preliminary investigations suggest the motor failed, leading to the accident. Lifesavers immediately sprang into action, rescuing all aboard and bringing them to shore,” said a police officer. 

All passengers were rushed to a nearby primary health center. Tragically, one passenger, identified as Suryakant Pophalkar (45) from Khed in Ratnagiri, was declared dead upon arrival. Six others, including two children aged four and five, were referred to the Goa Medical College for further observation. Their condition remains stable, authorities confirmed. 

Antony Coutinho, the boat’s owner, told reporters that the motor’s sudden failure caused the boat to capsize. However, one of the passengers alleged that the boat was overloaded and that not all passengers were provided life jackets, raising concerns about possible negligence. 

Police have initiated inquest proceedings to investigate the incident thoroughly. They will examine whether the boat’s operator followed safety protocols and if any negligence contributed to the accident. 

Calangute beach, a popular destination for watersports, has seen increased tourist activity during the holiday season. Authorities urge visitors to prioritize safety and ensure compliance with guidelines while engaging in recreational activities. 

This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the importance of rigorous safety measures in adventure sports. Both tourists and operators are encouraged to follow safety regulations to prevent such tragedies in the future.
