Denying that he abused the man, later identified as Melroy D’Souza, the former minister said D’Souza was a “Portuguese national and his political rival” who “chased” his car in a jeep. However, in a social media post, D’Souza claimed that Pacheco threatened him and even tried to run his car over him.
In the video, Pacheco is purportedly seen sitting with his friends in a beach shack and abusing D’Souza, who is heard questioned the conduct of the former minister. Pacheco’s car is also seen on the beach in the five-minute clip.
“I became irritated with Melroy D’Souza as he was chasing me in his jeep on the road and also followed me on the beach,” Pacheco told reporters in Margao today. Pacheco said D’Souza had also abused him.
