Prasad, of Annandale Railway, East Coast Demerara, was represented by Attorney at Law Vic Puran who declared that his client is not a flight risk, stating that he was placed on $50,000 station bail by the police in the matter. Puran also asked for bail in a reasonable sum.
No facts of what transpired on the day of the incident were presented in the court, however, Police Prosecutor Corporal Venetta Pindar had no objections to bail, but requested that the accused lodge his passport and report to Brickdam Police Station every Monday and Friday.
The application was approved and Prasad was granted bail to the tune of $750,000 on the causing death by dangerous driving charge and $30,000 for the offence of driving under the influence. He is expected to make his next court appearance on September 16.
