Corriverton man alleges CPG ranks beat him in face
An altercation between Community Policing Group (CPG) ranks and the 27-year-old son of a popular Corriverton businessman resulted in the man sustaining an injury to his face.
The young man is also alleging poor response for treatment by a doctor on call later that evening at the Skeldon Hospital.
Ulric Ramkishun, of 105 Queenstown, Corriverton was driving out of the Queenstown road on Saturday around 18:30 hours when his vehicle was stopped for a routine check by CPG members. One female rank (name given) approached the vehicle and asked him if he “was drunk”. The boy responded in the negative and an argument ensued.

The rank became agitated by the response and allegedly dealt the boy several blows to his face. She also allegedly tried to pull the boy out of the vehicle, with the help of other officers.
He also alleged that a “plain clothes cop” came out of another CPG vehicle and dealt him several slaps. The young man said that while leaving the scene he discovered blood running down his face and immediately reported to the Springlands Police Station. The officers promised “to investigate the matter”.
He along with his father, Eric, then visited the Skeldon Hospital where they requested immediate attention. “When my son approached the doctor, and he told her what was wrong with him, she said that she was hungry and did not have time to tend to him and that he had to wait”. “When he asked her when she was coming back, she said that she does not know”.
The family visited the hospital once again several hours later and the doctor allegedly told the victim that he had to wait a bit longer “because he is not seriously injured and it was not an emergency. My son kept complaining, he became angry and started to complain louder.
The doctor allegedly told him that she would not treat him if he continued to behave in that manner and the family left the hospital and visited a private medical doctor in the area.
Efforts to contact Dr. Artie Sharma of the Skeldon Hospital, for a comment, proved futile. Efforts, too, to solicit a comment from the Station Sergeant of the Springlands Police Station were similarly unsuccessful.
