POLICE Constable Shawnette Bollers has filed another private criminal charge against Attorney-at-Law Nirvan Singh, this time for allegedly, unlawfully assaulting her.

The attorney, who is the son of former Chancellor of the Judiciary Justice Carl Singh, is expected to appear before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on June 10.

The private charge was filed by Bollers, with the help of her lawyer, Eusi Anderson.

The charge alleges that Singh, on May 20, at Middle and Cummings Streets, Georgetown, unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Constable Bollers.

Bollers is reported to have been part of the security detail attached to the Singhs’ Middle and Cummings Streets residence.

Back in April, Bollers had filed a private charge against Singh for allegedly using racial slurs against an Afro-Guyanese. On April 20, Singh pleaded not guilty to the charge, and was released on $100,000 by Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus.

However, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Shalimar Ali-Hack discontinued the matter against Singh in May.

In a statement, the DPP contended that there was inconsistency regarding the racial hostility allegation made by Bollers against Singh.

The DPP opined that the evidence was not consistent with the offence created in the relevant section of the Act, as the words used by Singh were not spoken in order to excite others to act with hostility or ill-will against the complainant.

Bollers currently has a $150 million lawsuit against Singh at the High Court.
