Medical practitioner on assault charges
Roopan Singh, a medical doctor, was yesterday charged with assault against Roland Singh and Riswan Mohamed, when he appeared before Magistrate Sueanna Lovell at the Georgetown Magistrate’s court.
Police reports revealed that on March 10, the two men visited the doctor’s business located in Alexander Village. Roland Singh was reportedly taking Mohamed for a tetanus injection.
Upon their arrival the doctor, according to Roland Singh, appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and told Mohamed to lie on the bed. The doctor was alleged to have treated the patient rudely and began to curse him when he spoke against his disorderly behaviour. The complainant said “he threatened to kill me and he cursed me.” The doctor then tried to get the victims out of his office by pushing them to the nearest exit.
To the allegations, the defendant pleaded guilty and was subsequently placed on bail in the sum of $80,000 or an alternative of two months imprisonment. To this, the prosecution had no objection.
The accused was represented by Attorney Khemraj Ramjattan.
