            clueless as Israeli drug dealer goes ‘missing’ 
            
            
            
            Tuesday, August 24, 2010 05:46:58 AM, 
            IANS  |

            Panaji: 
            Israeli drug dealer Yaniv Benaim alias Atala who was alleged to have 
            links with Goa Home Minister Ravi Naik’s son has gone missing for 
            more than a month, according to police Monday. 
             
            Atala, who was arrested in March along with seven other policemen 
            during the drug mafia nexus investigation, had been released on bail 
            in June. 
             
            Speaking to reporters, Deputy Superintendent of Police Chandrakant 
            Salgaonkar said that Atala was last seen at the resort he was 
            residing in July 9. 
             
            “We were told that he had checked out of Angel resort (a few km from 
            Panaji) July 4. We don’t know his whereabouts now,” Salgaonkar said. 
             
            The official also said that according to the conditions of his bail, 
            Atala was to report to the crime branch whenever his presence was 
            required. 
             
            “We will write to the court that we cannot find him,” Salgaonkar 
            said, adding that Atala had not reported to the crime branch for the 
            last few weeks. 
             
            Atala was arrested after his former model girlfriend Lucky Farmhouse 
            uploaded his videos on the internet in which the Israeli was 
            boasting of his connections to policemen and politicians in Goa. 
             
            Lucky has also said that Atala has links with Roy, Ravi Naik’s son, 
            which both father and son have denied. 
             
            Police have been accused of sabotaging the investigation into the 
            drug mafia nexus by both the opposition as well as other parties 
            which are a part of the ruling coalition. These parties have 
            demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into 
            the role of politicians in the drug mafia. 
             
            The high court has also passed strictures on the police 
            investigations suggesting that the investigating agency was trying 
            to cover up the role of politicians in the drug mafia.
