FIR filed against morphed photo of Goa minister in pink swimsuit

, July 9: An FIR has been lodged against unknown persons for uploading a picture on

of Public Works Department Minister Sudin Dhavalikar in a pink swim suit. POlice official C.L. Patil said,"The FIR has been filed and the case has been transferred to the Cyber Cell."

The FIR was lodged at the behest of Pradeep Bakhale against Facebook users who had uploaded and circulated the morphed picture on Facebook.

Dhavalikar had attracted criticism when he said: "Young girls wearing short skirts in nightclubs are a threat to the Goan culture. This habit of young girls wearing short dresses everywhere does not fit the Goan culture. We should not allow this. It should be stopped." He had also added that women should stop drinking too as it is not good for their health."

Soon after, he was symbolically gifted a short pink skirt by the Congress.
