Before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson, the defendant pleaded not guilty to both offences, particulars of which said, last September 4, he unlawfully assaulted his brother-in-law, Raymond Ishmael, so as to cause him actual bodily harm and threatened him, causing a breach of the peace.

Defence Counsel Vic Puran conceded that Singh used some words which upset the virtual complainant and that resulted in a scuffle between them.

But Ishmael told the Court Singh used a gun to issue the threat and cuffed him on his face twice, making him lose a tooth.
The cases will be called, again, today.
