Lucky deposes in cop-drug nexus case; names Goa min's son Roy

Panaji, Jul 14: Lucky Farmhouse, a prime witness in the drug peddler-policemen nexus case today said she has given a detailed deposition before the Swedish police in which she has named Goa Home minister's son Roy Naik even as she agreed to cooperate with the CBI, which is now probing the matter.

In an exclusive interview to PTI, Farmhouse said she was interrogated by Swedish police twice, the last being in December 2010. "They also searched my home and took one of my computers and a camera," she said adding they couldn''t find anything on them.

"And yes, I gave them the name of Roy Naik, son of Goa Home minister Ravi Naik, in the statement. I told them how many times he came to Atala''s house for business," she said.

Lucky had spilled beans on her boyfriend, Yaniv Benaim alias Atala''s links with policemen in Goa after catching him on the camera confessing of how police supply him the drugs.

The model, who has shifted to Sweden after the expose, said its Roy Naik who gave drugs to Atala in the parked car in Calangute, which is there in the video clips, which she had shot. "These same drugs were sold by Atala from his ''Atala Coffeshop'' in Anjuna," she said.

The Israeli drug lord who now stands arrested in Peru after jumping bail in Goa, was running a cyber cafe in Anjuna.

The CBI recently took over the drug nexus case. Farmhouse has said that she is ready to cooperate with the CBI, if they contact her. Farmhouse, who broke her relations with Atala much before his arrest in Goa, said that she spoke to him in December last year.

"I spoke to Atala in December last time. He was in Israel staying with his sister and phoned me from her house. I don't have any feelings for him anymore," she said.

Speaking on rumours that she feared for her life, Farmhouse said she was very much "depressed" over the situation and did not care if she was dead.
