The woman had lodged a police complaint on Monday and a 32-year-old local man was arrested in the case the same day.

Sawant said the crime detection rate in Goa is "very high" and no criminal is allowed to go scot-free.

We have been able to arrest criminals immediately after the detection of crimes, he said.
