Oct 29, 2013 News

A mother of two who solicited money from another woman under the pretext that she was in a position to acquire a US visa for her, was on Friday remanded to jail.
The woman, Roma Devi Rajkumar, 39, called Melanie Joseph, who was described as a known fraudster of South Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus on Friday at the New Amsterdam Magistrate court and pleaded not guilty to the charge of obtaining money by false pretence.
According to prosecutor sergeant Phillip Sheriff,  Rajkumar, during the month of January, 2013 obtained $500,000 from Alisa Ghaj of Port Mourant while promising that she was in a position to take the said Ghaj to the United States, knowing same to be false.
In opposing bail, Sheriff told the court that the woman who works at a guest house as a clerk has several matters of a similar nature pending in other courts and if granted bail she may not return for her trial.
Bail was refused and Rajkumar was remanded  until November 4th. The matter has been transferred to the Whim Magistrate’s court.
