AFP/HO/File Photo: This picture released by the family of British teenager Scarlett Keeling shows Scarlett standing on...
Scarlett Keeling, 15, was found dead on popular Anjuna beach in February.
Her mother Fiona Mackeown has accused authorities in the former Portuguese colony of covering up the killing because of their links to local drug dealers and politicians.
On Friday, the Goa government, which agreed to allow a federal probe into the murder of the teenager, dismissed sub-inspector Nerlon Albuquerque who was already on suspension.
"We have found major lapses on the part of Albuquerque and hence police establishment board recommended his dismissal," said Goa chief minister Digamber Kamat.
His lapses were very serious," he told AFP.
Another senior police official, who requested anonymity, said Albuquerque "has been dismissed because of goof-up and sabotage into the investigations" after Keeling's bruised and partially naked body was found on February 18.
