Panaji: Goa chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar was on Thursday stopped by Speaker Rajendra Arlekar from reading out graphic details of the alleged gang rape of a widowed housemaid by eight persons, including a police constable, in the state legislative assembly.

As Parsekar began reading out in English the details of the July 29 gang rape of the 30-year-old native of Belgaum district in Karnataka, including explicit portions, independent legislator Vijai Sardesai objected.
