Whereas, it is reported by the Superintendent of
Police, North Goa District, Porvorim Goa, that
criminals with an intention of committing crime in
Goa, usually stay in hotel/rented premises with
fictitious names and bogus residential/official
addresses and telephone numbers and after
commision of crime, it becomes difficult to identify
culprits, as the details furnished by them to the
hotels, landlords are found fictitious/bogus.
And whereas anti-social/criminal or undesirable
elements can camouflage their identity for their
operations, which may be illegal/immoral and which
may be required to be contained/regulated and as
hotel owners/landlords tend to rent out premises
without verifying the antecedents of the person and
information to local police.
Therefore, on being satisfied for the need to take
preventive action on the report of the Superintendent
of Police, North Goa District, Porvorim Goa, I Mamu
