Prominent criminal lawyer Vickramaditya `Vic’ Puran who died by accident on Monday night will be cremated today following a religious ceremony at his home.
His longtime friend Anil Nandlall told Stabroek News last evening that Puran’s body will be at the Merriman’s Funeral Home for viewing at 10 am. Thereafter it will be transported to his Barr Street Kitty, home for further viewing and funeral service.
Puran’s body will later be taken to the Good Hope Crematorium, East Coast Demerara for cremation, he said.
Police said in a press release that around 0645 hours Puran was found in his motor vehicle in a canal at Esau and Jacob, Mahaicony. Police officials said that from all indications, Puran, a prominent criminal lawyer, was the victim of an accident.
According to reports, Puran left his Kitty home around 5:20 pm on Monday (which was also his 57th birthday) for his farm at Mahaicony. He was going to take feed for his pigs.
It is suspected that when approaching a sharp turn at an area referred to as the Mahaicony Branch Road he lost control of the vehicle which turned turtle in the trench.
