The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Monday confirmed that former government minister, Nigel Dharamlall is currently the center of an active investigation into a report of sexual assault.
In a brief press statement, Police Headquarters said that Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum has confirmed that the victim, Sarah Hakh, has filed a formal report against Dharamlall at the Cove and John police station.
“He (Blanhum) noted that the allegations are serious and the matter is under active investigation,” the statement said.
This new allegation surfaces less than a year after Dharamlall was fingered in a similar offence and resigned from government.
In a statement issued last week, Dharamlall denied the allegation.
“From the outset, I wish to categorically and most vehemently deny each and every one of the allegations made by (victim name withheld),” his statement noted.
Dharamlall described the new allegations made by the woman as “rumours”, while claiming that she is geared at tarnishing his reputation.
Dharamlall was previously accused of alleging raping a 16-year-old schoolgirl in December 2022.
Following the conclusion of the probe, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advised that he is to face no criminal charge since a case was not properly made out against him. The accuser withdrew her report to the Guyana Police Force.
Subsequently, Dharamlall resigned as the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development.
Nigel this women is very strategic as soon as you decided to return to the ‘surface’of public life there is an investigation into ‘alleged”sexual assault’ !
I am wondering what has stopped her from ‘coming out’ earlier with this allegation, furthermore would it would be prudent to see who are her ‘close’associates.
I shall leave the rest until the police will have completed their investigations.
DPP.” case was not properly made out against him”???
really when visits to his home was accurately noted, etc.,etc.,…this was one poor lamb that was slaughtered, police cover up & millons passed in many directions. Madam DPP, you got daughters or young female relatives?
This is an allegation now against the DPP! Lots of words are in this ‘poor lamb’,’slaughtered’,’police over up’and ‘millions passed in many directions’.
And also emotional black mail’ have got daughters and young female relatives’.
