A police constable has signalled his intention to take legal action against the police service, claiming his constitutional rights were breached after disciplinary measures were taken against him for wearing clear plastic studs to work and performing a religious prayer ritual with a “small flame.”

His attorneys are calling on the Police Commissioner, Allister Guevarro, to withdraw the disciplinary warning notices and stop any further disciplinary action.

The nine-page letter addressed to the Police Commissioner and the Attorney General, John Jeremie, is dated August 4. It was signed by attorney Vishan Michael Gopaul-Gosine. Gopaul-Gosine, together with attorneys Michael Rooplal and Gisanne Ramjit, is representing the policeman.
