Unity assault, accident victims call for justice

Jun 28, 2015 News

Following an assault and accident at Unity Public Road on May 21, 2015, Mohan Rampersaud and his wife, Bhanmattie Totaram, are puzzled why the men who had allegedly assaulted them after reversing into their truck, have not been arrested and charged.
The couple is contending that Vickram Ramrattan, the driver of the car, and his brother, Puran Sugrim, are familiar with ranks at the Mahaica Police Station, and this has been the reason for them not being taken before the court.
Totaram said that she and her husband have been keeping in contact with ranks at the Mahaica Station, but after more than a month nothing has been done about the matter. They noted that the car that Ramrattan was driving, has been removed from the station.
Ramrattan, after escaping from the scene of the collision and assault, ended up into another collision which landed him and Sugrim in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The two other occupants, Sharon Harry and her 16 year- old son, Gavin Harry, were treated and sent away
According to reports, the brothers were allegedly given a sound thrashing by the truck driver and his wife before they were able to escape in their car. According to the older Harry, with the alleged attackers in hot pursuit, Ramrattan was not able to escape successfully, as he ended up in an accident.
The woman claimed that Ramrattan, in a panic state, after realizing the danger posed by his attackers who were giving them a good chase “stepped on the gas” accelerating the car but lost control in the vicinity of the Gibson Primary School, on Unity Old Road. Kaieteur News understands that the car toppled a few times before coming to a halt.
“Even though Puran was badly injured and was sitting on the ground the truck driver still continued to beat him. He was kicking him in his back and I had to “pull him off”, said Harry.
However, Rampersaud and his wife gave a contrasting side of the story. They claimed to have been the victims of assault, and presented a police medical report.
The medical stated that Rampersaud suffered trauma to his head, shoulder and upper back while Totaram suffered almost the same injuries; trauma to her left side face, shoulder, upper back and head. The examination was done at a private institution.
They are calling on the police to handle the matter professionally by bringing the two parties together and sending the matter to court.
