Mohamed Extradition Hearing: Defence Puts Police Records and Arrest Evidence Under Scrutiny

The extradition proceedings involving Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and his father, businessman Nazar Mohamed, continued Tuesday with the defence maintaining its examination of the prosecution’s evidence, particularly the handling of police records and the circumstances surrounding the men’s arrests.

Senior Superintendent Prem Narine, Head of the Guyana Police Force Special Branch, remained under cross-examination by defence attorney Siand Dhurjon, who questioned him about the October 31, 2025 arrests, the preservation of police records and whether information relevant to the case was properly documented.

Narine denied receiving political instructions concerning the arrests and rejected suggestions that his actions were influenced by public statements made by senior government officials. He also denied being instructed to destroy records concerning the Mohameds or to remove communications involving senior officials from his telephone.
