FOLLOWING an explicit letter in a daily newspaper on May 17, 2013 titled: “Vic Puran’s death was not an accident”, which was penned by his daughter, Mikhaila Puran, Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee said yesterday she should approach the Guyana Police Force Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to have an investigation conducted to her satisfaction if she has the evidence.

The minister was at the time speaking to reporters after the conclusion of the handing-over of vehicles at the Tactical Services Unit (TSU) Eve Leary, Georgetown.
Rohee said, “We have not been approached, we don’t normally as a professional institution insist on investigations based on letters but we may take the letter into account once she approaches the (GPF CID).”
“If she has incontrovertible evidence that her dad was murdered I think she could go to the CID and insist that a proper investigation be done to her satisfaction but to debate the issue in the media, I am not so sure how far she will get with that – she is free to put a letter in the press,” the minister posited.
Mikhaila Puran, in her letter to the media, said she is convinced her father was murdered on October 16, 2012.
At the time he was driving his vehicle on his way to his pig farm at Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara but never reached the location.
Passersby observed the Tundra vehicle in a canal at the roadside and his death was deemed an ‘accident’ while a post-mortem examination said he died from asphyxiation.
Puran’s daughter, in the letter, also urged persons who may have information to come forward since it is believed that he was killed and the accident was staged.
