FORMER UNC minister Devant Maharaj says inaction by police to investigate a complaint he made about human trafficking involving a key government official has left him disappointed.

He spoke to Sunday Newsday on July 30, World Day Against Trafficking In Persons.

Maharaj, who served as a senator during the 2010-2015 People's Partnership administration, had complained of a high-profile case of human trafficking in 2023, and the matter was referred to the Counter-Trafficking Unit (CTU) for an investigation. After the party lost to the PNM in 2015, Maharaj was a sharp critic of UNC leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar. He subsequently migrated to Canada.
