FIR Filed Over Remarks on St Francis Xavier

Goa Police have registered an FIR against Gautam Khattar for his alleged objectionable remarks about St. Francis Xavier.

The issue began after a video of Khattar speaking at an event went viral on social media. The event took place on Saturday evening (April 18, 2026). In the video, his comments about the saint were seen as offensive by many people, which led to strong reactions.

The event was attended by several public figures, including Swami Brahmeshanand, Mauvin Godinho, and BJP MLAs Sankalp Amonkar and Daji Salkar.

After the video spread widely, a controversy started, with many people demanding action. Following this, the police filed a case and began an investigation into the matter.

Authorities are now looking into the incident, while the situation has created tension and debate in the state.
