One day after Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack faced mounting criticisms for providing no reasons for her decision to discontinue the private criminal charge of racial hostility filed by police corporal Shawnette Bollers against attorney Nirvan Singh, her Chambers issued a statement saying that advice had been provided to the police, though that had been after Singh had already been charged.
That file had been sent to Ali-Hack before the private criminal charge was instituted. In fact, it was the police’s silence on the issue that led to Bollers’ attorney instituting the private criminal charge.
