By Mark DaCosta- The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has informed an attorney that it does not hold the file concerning a rape allegation against Deputy Commissioner of Police Fizal Karimbaksh, according to correspondence published by Big Smith News Watch. Village Voice News has not independently verified that report or the letter. The allegations against Mr. Karimbaksh remain entirely unproven, and he is presumed innocent unless and until a court decides otherwise.
According to the Big Smith News Watch report, published on Friday, 6th November, 2026, the complainant, a senior female police officer, has retained legal representation. The outlet published a letter dated 3rd November, 2026, from the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions to attorney Yashobu Parks of Dexter Todd & Associates. Replying to Ms. Parks’s letter of 29th October, the DPP’s Chambers wrote: “we do not have this file.” The letter gives no explanation and does not state where the file is currently located, nor does it state that the file is lost.




Big Smith News Watch reported that the file was completed approximately three weeks ago and that over 40 days have elapsed since the matter arose. It also reported that the Guyana Police Force has not commented publicly, and that Karimbaksh has vacated his official quarters at Eve Leary but remains at work. The outlet stated it could not confirm an allegation that he has moved belongings into his office at the SOCU compound. Village Voice News has not confirmed any of these claims.
