Solomon Demands DPP Explain Karimbaksh File Mystery, Questions Delay In Justice

Opposition Member of Parliament K. Sharma Solomon is demanding answers from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) over the handling of serious sexual violence allegations against Deputy Commissioner of Police Fazil Karimbaksh, questioning why the prosecution office reportedly does not have the investigation file despite President Irfaan Ali’s indication that the police have completed their investigation.

In a statement issued on November 14, 2026, Solomon said the conflicting accounts from the DPP’s office and the President have raised even more troubling questions about the handling of the matter, particularly the apparent failure to advance the investigation to the stage where a decision can be made on criminal charges.

The DPP has reportedly acknowledged that her office does not have the investigation file, while President Ali said on November 13 that he had been informed that the police had completed their investigation. The conflicting positions have left the complainant and the public without a clear explanation of where the file is, who has custody of it and why it has not reached prosecutors.
