KEVIN Bhim (no address given) was let off with a warning, from Magistrate Alex Moore, when he made an appearance at Sparendaam Court, East Coast Demerara, on Tuesday, on an assault charge. The defendant was charged with unlawfully assaulting Sinika Singh in her shop.
He pleaded not guilty and claimed that he went to make a purchase, not thinking that a previous argument between them was seen as a problem.
Bhim complained that Singh verbally abused him and he only pushed her hand away. However the woman said he chucked her, which he denied.
However, the defendant promised that nothing such would recur and the magistrate, noting that he was a first offender, cautioned him that another action like that will not be tolerated.
