– placed on $20,000 bail
VIJAY Seenarine, facing a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm, is claiming that he was detained by police for eight days, and was never allowed to bathe, except when an officer threw two buckets of water at him in the Albion Police Station lockups.In an explanation, the defendant said he was asleep when a little boy broke and entered his home, and after catching him, he broke a tamarind whip and flogged the boy.

This story was narrated to Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh at the Albion Court a week ago.

Seenarine alleged that following his arrest, cops left his home open, and there is no one to take care of his belongings. “I am poor. No money; no family,” he said.
The police said that the defendant unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on Dinesh [only name given]. Seenarine pleaded not guilty.
The defendant was placed on $20,000 bail, and is expected to return to court next Tuesday for report.
