CONTRARY to some erroneous reports on social media, 38-year-old prison officer Govindra Balgobin – who was ambushed and shot in an attempted murder – has not died. Police have confirmed that he is alive.

In a statement issued on June 22, Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro confirmed that Balgobin remained in critical condition at hospital.

He added that police continued to closely monitor Balgobin’s condition and provide full support to his family during the extremely difficult time.
