Interim relief to activist Rama Kankonkar

Panaji: A Panaji court granted interim relief to Rama Kankonkar pending the disposal of his main anticipatory bail application. His main anticipatory bail application has been fixed for final arguments on Monday.
Kankonkar approached a Panaji court seeking anticipatory bail after Panaji police registered an FIR against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. After the FIR was registered against Kankonkar, an FIR against Xencor Polgi, also an activist, was registered on a similar charge at the Vasco police station on Thursday.
The followers of Tapobhoomi Mutt, Kundaim, and the devotees of Swami Brahmeshanand, filed a complaint against Kankonkar on Wednesday. Some had gathered at the Panaji police station to demand his expulsion from Goa.
