RETIRED ACP Totaram Dookhie has submitted an additional affidavit in his lawsuit against the Commissioner of Police and the Attorney General, which accuses a former senior officer of abuse of power and exerting undue influence during his tenure from August 2018 to August 2021.

Dookhie’s affidavit was filed on April 8 and refers to station diary extracts in June 2019, relating to a prisoner at the Four Roads police station who alleged he was assaulted and threatened. The prisoner, Cecil Skeete, who was shot dead in 2019, recanted his story, denying the incident ever happened.

Dookhie’s lawsuit alleges victimisation, abuse of power, and constitutional breaches during his tenure with the police service.
