The continued lack of police action speaks volumes

Apr 08, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

On April 5, a letter, ‘Nirvan Singh is a wonderful and caring young man’ was published in the Stabroek News, in response to the allegations of abuse of a junior police officer while in uniform and on duty by Mr. Singh, a lawyer and son of a high ranking former judicial official, Mr. Carl Singh. It would appear that the letter writer knows the young man at the centre of the allegations, enough to offer a description of how out of character these alleged actions are. They also seem to know the family, enough to know that Justice Carl Singh issued an apology. That suggests that something happened, enough to warrant an apology. It also raises the question, why is the father and not the son apologising?
But the letter writer does not stop there. They go on to make (counter?) claims about what the female police constable said and did. Are they suggesting that the constable deserved to be allegedly physically and verbally abused (spat upon, chased out of the premises, insulted racially)? And why is this simply dismissed by the letter writer as an “unfortunate” incident?
We are in full agreement with one thing that Hana Mohammed says, and that is “I hope that very soon the facts will become available.” So do we. So should we all. However, this will only be done when the police decide to open a criminal investigation into what happened at the home of Justice Carl Singh. The continued lack of police action on this matter speaks volumes.

Sincerely,
Susan Collymore
