According to a recent report from the Suriname media, Widprakash Garib was involved in a boat mishap in the Suriname waters two Sundays ago.
The report stated that Commewijne Police recieved a report of the boat accident and upon investigation it was revealed that a speedboat had sailed in close proximity to the bank and collided with an obstacle.
