Mar 06, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- A 47-year-old house wife was on Wednesday remanded to prison when she appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer to the charge of obtaining money by false pretense.

The defendant, Vimla Sankar of Quintin Street, Betsy Ground, East Canje Berbice appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty.

Sankar was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleges that she obtained money from Totaram Lalbachan and Errol Pitt under false pretense.  The prosecution told the court, that Sankar pretended that she was in the position to obtain plots of land for Lalbachan and Pitt. During the period of May to December 2024 Sankar reportedly collected $2.4 million from Lalbachan and $3 million from Pitt.

Pitt told the court that the initial cost for his land was $6 million, however, Sankar told him that he can pay an installment of at least half of the original cost. Magistrate McGusty remanded Sankar to prison and adjourned the matter to April 2, 2025.
