Police Inspector Prem Narine yesterday maintained that the Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud had instructed him to release the main suspect in the alleged plot to assassinate the President, countering Persaud’s claim that he had merely made a “suggestion.”
Narine was brought before the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) probing the allegation again to be subjected to cross-examination by Persaud’s attorney, Glenn Hanoman, who suggested that Narine may have misinterpreted what Persaud said.
In addition, he put it to Narine that in placing the blame on Persaud, he was trying to evade personal responsibility because he did not want to commit “political suicide.”
