A Corentyne woman who had been reported as missing yesterday reached out to the police to state that she had not been abducted.
She made contact after the Guyana Police Force issued a release noting concerns that she was being held against her will.
The GPF in its release yesterday said that twenty-one-year-old Amrita Sampal of Line Path Corentyne, Berbice had been missing since Sunday and her family was asking for help in locating her.
According to the statement, Sampal was last seen by her mother, 58-year-old Phulatie Sampal, at about 08:30 hours on Sunday.
However, some ten minutes after the release was issued yesterday, Sampal made contact with the police and denied having been abducted.
Commander of Region Six, Shivpersaud Bacchus, yesterday confirmed that the young woman was “alive and well.”
After she reached out to police, she was picked up from the location provided.
Sampal’s father, Sagar Sampal, 66, said, that the young woman about two weeks ago began working with the police force’s special branch unit. He said she left home for work on Sunday but never reported to the unit and after she failed to return home in the evening they decided to file a police report.
The man said that he was unsure of the information provided that the young woman had possibly been abducted.
