For thousands around the world who dream of lounging in the sandy beaches of Hawaii, Goa has been the perfect substitute for years. However, with a number of incidents emerging into the limelight in the past couple of years, the latest one being the killing of a 15 year old British teen, Scarlett Keeling Goa is soon losing its tag of being a paradise. Goa has always been known for its idyllic lifestyle, yet that’s not the attitude one would expect from the local police. Most cases of deaths are dismissed as random incidents and only pressure from the family of the deceased proves it otherwise.

In the case of Scarlett Keeling as well, her death was initially written off as a case of drowning until her mother demanded a second autopsy and it was revealed that she may have been raped but definitely murdered and have even arrested three suspects. Families with similar cases of mysterious deaths of family members are now keen to unravel the real cause and suspect foul play.

Though the prevailing lifestyle of casual sex and where getting drugs is as easy as buying your groceries is not something to rave about nothing justifies the deaths. Goa, always known as one of the safest places is showing its evil side now and this bring no good to anyone. What can only be hoped is that people are more cautious with whom they interact with and the Goa Police pulls their socks up before the loss to the image of Goa is irreparable.
