Goa MLA sent to three-day police remand 
Goa MLA and expelled Congress leader Atanasio Monserrate, alias Baabush, who was arrested by the Crime Branch on Thursday for allegedly raping a minor girl, was sent to a three-day police remand on Friday. The girl's step-mother, from whom Monserrate allegedly purchased her, has also been sent to three-day custody. However, the MLA's lawyer said the charges were politically motivated.
