The Guyana Police Force is currently compiling a file to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Shalimar Ali-Hack, SC, regarding the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl by Local Government and Regional Development Minister Nigel Dharamlall.
The police are gathering evidence and conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. Once the file is complete, it will be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions, who will review the evidence and provide her legal opinion on the appropriate course of action.
The involvement of the Director of Public Prosecutions is crucial in determining the next steps in the case. Based on her legal expertise and assessment of the evidence, she will consider whether charges should be filed against Minister Dharamlall and guide the police on the way forward—Renata Burnette reporting for HGP Nightly News.
