RETIRED policeman, Kenneth Bahadur, and a gold miner, were, on Friday, released on $200,000 each for allegedly abducting a man at a popular bar in Kitty, Georgetown.
Bahadur and Sameer Bacchus appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, jointly charged.

The pair denied that, on September 12, 2022, at Station Street, Kitty, they abducted Jagdesh Mangal with the intent to secretly confine him.
They will make their next court appearance on November 4.

According to reports, on the day in question, Mangal was at the bar when he was allegedly confronted by the two defendants and two identifiable men.
The victim was allegedly forced into a motor car by the defendants and taken to a house in Georgetown where he was held at gunpoint and robbed of his gold jewellery which amounted to $2.1 million.

It is alleged that Mangal was forced to sign a note stating that he owed Bacchus money, and that the jewellery was taken as payment.
The victim was then taken to a location on Church Street, where he was ordered out of the vehicle.
The matter was subsequently reported to the police and the two defendants were arrested.
