Goa Forward Party MLA Vijai Sardesai had moved a Calling Attention motion on the floor of the House about the incident claiming that such things bring disrepute to the tourism industry.
Responding to the motion, the chief minister said the accused was arrested by the Pernem police immediately after it received the complaint.
