Goa, Dec. 30 -- The Additional Sessions Court at Mapusa has denied anticipatory bail to Arpora Sarpanch Roshan Redkar and suspended Panchayat Secretary Raghuvir Bagkar. This decision comes in connection with the tragic Arpora fire on December 6, which claimed 25 lives. Both officials had sought protection from arrest, but the court rejected their applications, signaling the seriousness of the investigation. The fire, which devastated a local establishment, prompted widespread outrage and calls for accountability. Authorities are continuing their inquiry to determine responsibility and prevent such tragedies in the future.
