State to compensate cop for false imprisonment
PC Anand Dass -
A POLICE constable accused of removing a digital video recorder (DVR) from a shooting and robbery scene in 2017 will receive compensation from the State.
Justice Margaret Mohammed ordered compensation for PC Anand Dass of $75,000 for the three days he spent in custody before he was released without charge.
The payment is to include interest of 2.5 per cent from May 18, 2018 to the present and the State will also pay Dass’s costs of $20,011.30.
In her decision, Mohammed said, “It is a serious allegation that a police officer has misbehaved in public office. It is even more serious when a police officer is arrested for the offence of misbehaviour in public office.”
