The driver accused of causing last Tuesday’s Peters Hall, East Bank Public Road accident, which left police sergeant Rajendra Major in a critical condition, was charged with several offences last Friday.
The accused, Abdool Safraz Nazir, 36, of Eccles, appeared before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court, where he was charged with failing to stop after an accident, failing to render assistance and driving under the influence. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was placed on $20,000 bail for each charge. He is scheduled to return to court on August 16, 2021.
Meanwhile, acting Commander of Region 4 (b) Senior Superintendent Mahendra Siwnarine told Stabroek News the police are still assessing Major’s condition.
