Goa, Nov. 28 -- Principal Chief Engineer of the PWD, Uttam Parsekar, declined to comment when confronted by the media about his alleged involvement in the Pooja Naik scam. Parsekar responded with the familiar "no comments," a phrase often echoed by officials facing corruption accusations.

Despite repeated questions on whether he planned to take any action or issue a clarification regarding the allegations, Parsekar chose to remain silent.

Pooja Naik has previously accused Parsekar, along with other PWD officials and Minister Sudin Dhavlikar, of being involved in the scam. Dhavlikar has categorically denied the claims, dismissing them as baseless.
