Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Curt Simon said there is no need for an investigation to be launched into the video showing acting Prisons Commissioner Deopersad Ramoutar at a beach gathering, while two assault rifles were hanging from a tree nearby.
Ramoutar was captured in a leaked four-minute clip hanging out with police and prison officers near the beach at Chacachacare, while the weapons, which Ramoutar called his “protection”, dangled from a tree.
Former prisons commissioner Dennis Pulchan and Prison Officers Association president Gerard Gordon both labelled the video reckless.
Speaking at a media conference yesterday, however, acting DCP Simon said the video did not present enough infractions to require a police probe.
Simon said: “We have viewed that short video clip circulating and the TTPS will not be conducting any investigations into that matter.”
