– SOCU Head should proceed on leave- Home Affairs Minister
(Demerara Waves) – Almost one week after a woman inspector of the Guyana Police Force filed a complaint that she was the victim of a sexual offence allegedly committed by the Head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), Deputy Police Commissioner Fizal Karimbaksh, that law enforcement agency and the Home Affairs Ministry broke their silence.
The police force said he was also accused of threatening the inspector who up to recently was stationed at SOCU.
The force said Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken has since “established a team to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations.”
