Glenn Lall to be questioned by police today
THE Guyana Chronicle was yesterday informed by a senior police source that the publisher of the Kaieteur News, Mr. Mohan Lall (aka Glenn Lall), will be questioned by police today.The move follows a report he made against the Attorney-General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall, on Monday.
Lall made a report, on Monday, to the Deputy Police Commissioner, Mr. Balram Persaud, after releasing a 19-minuute recording of a private conversation alleged to have occurred between a senior reporter from Kaieteur New, Mr. Leonard Gildharie, and the Attorney-General, last Saturday, October 25.
Lall contends that the contents of the recording indicate that his life, the lives of his family and staff members are under threat.
The newspaperβs senior reporter is also expected to be questioned by the police.
Gildharie was reportedly fired after the contents of the recording were made public. However, Lall, in several media reports, stated that the senior reporter was not fired; rather he was suspended on the grounds that he was disrespectful.
Additionally, questions are still in the air over how Lall came into possession of the conversation, as well as under what circumstances the conversation was recorded.
The police are yet to make a pronouncement on matter, which includes the status of its investigation.
