A video has surfaced of Guyana’s High Commissioner to India, Charrandass Persaud using profanity and sexually insulting language to a woman in India last year August.

In the video, Persaud is seen cursing at the woman who was engaged in a project that feeds dogs.

The woman later filed a complaint against Persaud with the video attached. It is unclear what happened to the complaint.
