Tamesh Jagmohan asks police to probe Facebook video
June 13, 2022
Businessman Tamesh Jagmohan has written to the Guyana Police Force asking it to investigate a Facebook video which he says made a number of scurrilous allegations against him.
In a press release on Friday on behalf of Jagmohan, it was disclosed that through his lawyer Dexter Todd, he had written to acting Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken requesting an urgent and full investigation of the video published by `Guyana Uncut’ titled “Guyana uncut documentary, the PPP oligarchy, Tamesh Jagmohan, watch’.
The release said that the publication has “caused severe stress to our client and our client cannot allow this attempt to assassinate his character to go unnoticed”.
The release said that the matter has consequently been reported to the Cyber Crime Unit of the Guyana Police Force at the Brickdam Police Station and a call was made to “ensure that this matter is treated with the highest level of seriousness”.
In a separate matter, Jagmohan wrote to Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn in February this year asking that the authorities conduct an investigation of his business so that a “clean bill of health” could be issued.
“Dear Minister, as you are aware, I am a licenced gold dealer and exporter operating in this capacity for over two decades. I pride myself operating professionally during this time and having contributed significantly to Guyana’s economy remitting billions in royalties and taxes to the consolidated fund annually. The Gold exporting business is a very competitive one and I have been singled out for systematic character assassination by unknown persons,” the letter to Benn states.
“Because of the sensitive nature of my business which involved the movement of gold or money, I am fearful that these malicious attacks may have a detrimental effect on my business and the economy of Guyana. With this in mind, I would appreciate if the state and its external agencies and authorities could initiate a thorough examination of me and my business so that I could be issued with a “clean bill of health”. This will assist me greatly to officially dispel any malice directed towards me,” it continued.
