DPP asks police to do further probe in Dharamlall case

Advice from the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP)  in the rape probe involving  Minister of Local Government, Nigel Dharamlall will take a bit longer as the file was returned yesterday to the Guyana Police Force for further investigations.

The file had been with the DPP since last week Thursday.  The return of the file to the DPP came just days after attorney Nigel Hughes, who represents the interest of the Minister, wrote to the DPP on evidentiary issues related to the case.

“In the course of the investigation into Mr Dharamlall, lawyers of Mr Dharamlall wrote to the DPP. I can disclose that, I rather not disclose as to what we wrote about. It is directly relating to investigation and evidence that we believe contradicts the evidence of the complainant”,  Hughes said in an interview with Stabroek News on Monday.
