Sanguem Police arrested two accused persons on Wednesday in connection with Crime No. 18/2026 after they allegedly failed to comply with a notice issued to them earlier.

The accused have been identified as 29-year-old Messiah Da’ Costa of Amdoipanto, Sanguem, and 41-year-old businessman Dattaraj Raut Dessai of Assolda, Chandor.

According to police, both accused appeared at Sanguem Police Station in connection with the case. However, as they had allegedly failed to comply with the earlier notice, police said there were sufficient grounds to arrest them.

The two were placed under arrest at 2.49 pm after police followed the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court and completed the required procedures.

The case has been registered under Sections 132, 221, 351 and 189 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
