DIRECTOR of Public Prosecutions (DPP) representative, Liz Rahaman on Monday told the Guyana Chronicle that the ‘Nigel Dharamlall’ file which was with that office for legal advice has since been handed over to the Guyana Police Force (GPF).She added that the file had since been returned to the Sparendaam Police Station after the necessary recommendations had been made by the DPP.

Police Public Relations Officer, Jairam Ramlakhan told this newspaper that the Divisional Commander, Marlon Chapman was not in receipt of the ‘Dharamlall file’ as yet.

He said that it was possibly in the division, but not yet dispatched to him.

The alleged gun threat file involving People’s Progressive Party (PPP) backbencher Nigel Dharamlall was with the DPP, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum had reported.

Dharamlall, a former permanent secretary of the then Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, is accused of issuing threats to an official of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Media reports indicated that the alleged threat was made at Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara.

In a very terse statement, attorney for Dharamlall, Glenn Hanoman, said: “Given the sensational speculations and inaccurate information already in the public domain, I am constrained, on behalf of my client, to clarify the following: we, first and foremost, wish for the matter to be thoroughly and professionally investigated. Secondly, and towards this end, I have advised my client not to comment on the issue or engage the media so as not to interfere with, or prejudice, this process. My client unequivocally denies any involvement in any criminal act,” Hanoman’s statement affirmed.
