The charges of unlawful confinement against three employees of the New Building Society (NBS) were dismissed by a city magistrate yesterday after the special prosecutor failed to appear in court.
NBS Director Anil Kishun along with employees Anil Beharry and Deka Tularam had pleaded not guilty to eight counts of unlawful confinement, which was alleged to have occurred at its main branch.
It was alleged that on January 23rd, at NBS’ head office on Avenue of the Republic, they wrongfully confined Shawn Kalicharan, Alex Greene, Goodish Singh, Patrick Higgins, Martin Browne, Gina Arjoon, Ganesh Hira and Joseph Allen “from proceeding beyond certain circumscribing limits, that is to say, out of the building”.
