Hassar curry poisoning…Trouble follows the Dharamdat family- residents

Feb 08, 2015 News

It seems as though trouble follows the Dharamdat family, according to residents of Handsome Tree, Mahaica Creek.
Three years ago, five family members from the Dharamdat household were battling for their lives at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after eating a hassar curry meal which was allegedly laced with poison.
Those hospitalized were Nandranie Sukdeo, her son, Chaitram Dharamdat, her husband Sukdeo Dharamdat and her two daughters, Hemwanttie and Muneshwari.
Initially, police were questioning the Dharamdat’s neighbours after receiving a statement that the family had an ongoing dispute with a few residents from Handsome Tree.
However, after conducting a thorough investigation, police found that it was a family member of the Dharamdat household who tried to “clean up” the family and not neighbours.
At that time, a 14-year-old girl confessed to lacing a pot of hassar curry with a potentially deadly dose of monocrotophos so that she can be with her “boyfriend.”
The teen was sent to the Juvenile Centre in Sophia but later returned home after her family refused to testify against her.
On Friday last, 51-year-old Sukdeo Dharamdat and his two sons, 22-year-old Eshwardat and Chaitram, 20, were taken before Magistrate Zamilla Ali-Seepaul, at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court.
They were charged with the murder of 25-year-old Suresh Nandkishore, called ‘Ravo,’ at Handsome Tree, Mahaica Creek on February 03 last.
They were remanded to prison until February 17.
According to reports, the now dead man, his father Bhopaul Nandkishore, 52, and brother Parmanand were in the process of erecting a fence on a plot of land when a heated argument erupted between them and the other family, and led to a fight.
It was reported that the older Dharamdat, with whom the Nandkishores have a land dispute, came as they were working and appeared to have no objection.
But the 51-year-old reportedly returned with his two sons, one of whom was armed with a cutlass.
The men reportedly picked up two of the posts that were meant for the fence and began lashing the Nandkishores about their bodies.
The now dead man reportedly tried to walk away, but was cornered and dealt several lashes to his head, blows that cracked open his skull.
The father and his older son, both sustained injuries while it was reported that at least two members of the opposing family, Sukhdeo Dharamdat included, received treatment for injuries they sustained during the melee.
