Police Sergeant Sohan Ramdat was remanded to prison yesterday when he appeared before Magistrate Zamela Ali at the
Police Sergeant Sohan Ramdat
Vigilance Magistrate’s Court, charged with being illegally in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Ramdat who was represented by attorney at law Sandil Kissoon was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge.
Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Ayesha Gibbons, successfully argued for Ramdat to be denied pre-trial liberty, despite stirring arguments by his attorney.
It is alleged that on Sunday last at a wedding house at Cane Grove, Mahaica, Ramdat was found in possession of a 9mm pistol and 14 live rounds of ammunition. This was after he had allegedly brandished the weapon menacingly while dancing among the guests.
A report was made and ranks of a police mobile patrol under the command of a female Inspector responded and arrested Ramdat.
