A woman was yesterday placed on $75,000 bail after being charged with scamming a man of $1.2 million for a house lot at Cummings Lodge.
Sudarshanie Ramsingh, 21, of Lot 84 Gordon Street, Kitty, was brought before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where she was charged with fraud.
Ramsingh was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which states that on September 4, 2019, at Kitty, with intent to defraud $1,250,000 from Talesh (only name given), by falsely pretending that she was employed by the Central Housing and Planning Authority and in a position to sell land at Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown, knowing same to be false.
According to her attorney, she had other pending matters before the court and she was granted bail for a similar charge. He also said that his client was not informed about the charge until she made an appearance at the court for another matter. He said that on Friday last she was informed and that she was released on her own recognizance and she has been returning to the police since. He argued that the woman would do the same if granted bail for the new matter
However, the Police Prosecutor told the court that he was objecting to bail because of the charges facing Ramsingh which are similar to this one.
The magistrate, however, placed her on $75,000 bail and adjourned the matter until June 28.
