Attorney Nirvan Singh tonight broke his silence on allegations that he had engaged in racist abuse of Woman Police Constable Shawnette Bollers who was assigned to guard Singh’s family’s residence.
A statement by Singh follows:
STATEMENT FROM NIRVAN SINGH, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW
As a result of my engagement with a police rank providing security services at our residence on March 20, 2022, there have been several reports, rumours, and allegations that are untrue and have no basis in that engagement, or as a result of it.
While I am constrained from specific comment at this time, given that the matter is now being litigated before the courts and is therefore sub judice, I do recognise that there are no such rules in the critical court of public opinion.
I therefore wish to say that the racist conduct, of which I am accused, in no way reflects my philosophy or personal values. More importantly, it would be an indictment on my parents and elders, given their efforts to ensure that my upbringing would produce in me a person of the highest moral, ethical, and professional conduct.
Finally, while I wait for this matter to be properly determined in court, I will strive to remain respectful and faithful to my values, to serve my clients from all walks of life with professionalism, and to use every opportunity to be of service or support to my fellow citizens regardless of race, class or creed.
I am eternally grateful to all of those persons, from both near and far, who have reached out to offer support in this most difficult time.
