Concerns over compliance with bail conditions surfaced on Friday as attorney-at-law Glenn Hanoman alerted Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman to possible breaches by businessmen Nazar Mohamed and Azruddin Mohamed in their ongoing extradition case.

Hanoman told the court that the two men had inconsistently reported to the Ruimveldt Police Station, sometimes arriving earlier than the scheduled time, at other times reporting a day or two late, or failing to appear altogether.

“There were times when I noticed that Mr. Nazar Mohamed has actually been going [to the station] earlier than the appointed time, as he did last Friday. It is technically still a breach. There were times when they arrived one day late, two days late…” he explained.

The prosecutor also shared that he had compiled a comprehensive list of the breaches after personally inspecting the station diaries, which the police have since locked away.

According to Hanoman, Nazar Mohamed missed reporting on December 26, 2025, and January 2, 2026.

He cautioned that the Mohameds seem to act as if they can report to the police whenever they choose, instead of adhering to the court’s directives.

To verify the allegations, Magistrate Latchman summoned a police officer to present the station diary. However, the diary provided only began in March 2026, leaving gaps in the record of the men’s reporting since their bail was granted in October 2025.

The magistrate ordered the officer to return on Monday, March 16, 2025, with the older diaries so that the court could examine a complete record.

The Mohameds were granted bail of $150,000 each, with conditions requiring them to report regularly to the Ruimveldt Police Station and to surrender their passports.

Failing to comply could result in the court revoking their bail and remanding them to prison.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Sharon Roopchand-Edwards is currently undergoing rigorous cross-examination as the extradition proceedings continue.
