Panaji: Arrested in connection with the Louis Berger bribery case, former Goa Public Works Department minister Churchill Alemao today said he was innocent and arrested as part of a "political game".

Alemao was last night detained from Agassaim village in south Goa at 10.30 PM and later put under arrest around midnight by the Goa Crime Branch police. "I am happy. They have arrested me. This is a political game. I have not done anything wrong," Alemao told PTI while being taken for medical examination during the wee hours today.
