Opposition Member, Ganesh Mahipaul, whose name was mentioned in a police statement from the 16-year-old complainant in the case against Local Government Minister Nigel Dharamlall, says he is baffled and would like an explanation why his name was stated.
Speaking with Stabroek News yesterday, Mahipaul explained that when he saw his name mentioned, he was in shock as he recalled that to his knowledge he did not make any incriminating posts on social media.
“I was taken back because one I don’t know this child and her family, and two, I didn’t post anything to identify her. I learnt of this story on a Mark Benschop programme and that is where I made a post calling out the ministers and the president to act,” he said.
