Cybercrime Unit Targets “Missie Moustass” Amid Audio Leak Controversy

The Cybercrime Unit is facing a significant challenge as it seeks to track down the controversial figure known as “Missie Moustass.” This follows a series of leaked audio recordings that have surfaced on social media, implicating various politicians, citizens, and members of the judiciary in questionable activities.

The latest targets of these recordings include Anil Kumar Dip, the Commissioner of Police (CP), who is now under scrutiny due to the revelations contained in these audio clips.

The leaked audio, which gained traction on TikTok after Missie Moustass’s Facebook page was taken down, features conversations attributed to Commissioner Dip in which he allegedly attempted to intervene on behalf of his son, Chandra Prakash Dip.

One of the recordings is titled “Conspiracy to Forgive His Son” and suggested that Commissioner Dip may have tried to interfere to prevent his son’s conviction.

It is alleged that a former minister advised him to approach the presidency for a pardon through the Commission for Pardons.

Another clip raised concerns about an “attempt to avoid arrest” for Chandra Prakash Dip.

In this recording, the CP expressed his worries regarding a potential arrest warrant, indicating that the judgment concerning his son’s case had already been forwarded to the Registry, leading him to fear that an arrest warrant could be issued soon.

His interlocutor reassured him, saying, “Relax, boss, don’t worry.”

Chandra Prakash Dip was previously convicted of embezzling Rs 3 million, resulting in a 12-month prison sentence.

However, this sentence was subsequently commuted to a fine of Rs 100,000 on December 20, 2023, a decision that sparked considerable controversy.

In addition to these recordings, there are audio clips allegedly featuring a conversation between the CP and a member of a sociocultural organization, where the CP purportedly discussed not granting bail to alleged thieves from a particular community.

There are also claims of inappropriate remarks made by the CP concerning the Virgin Mary.

Another audio file reportedly shows the CP discussing strategies to corner Adrien Duval following an accident.

Further recordings feature discussions between the CP and Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ashok Matar, in which the CP criticized Matar for being stuck in traffic and pointed out that motorists failed to give way to his vehicle.

When contacted, ASP Ashok Matar stated that he was unaware of the recordings released by Missie Moustass.

One of the tapes reportedly involved the CP and a contact regarding “installing Kokil.”

Commissioner Dip had previously ordered ASP Kokil to take early retirement in the public interest, in connection with a USB drive containing videos of torture carried out by members from the Central Investigation Division in Terre-Rouge.

Yesterday, October 22, Missie Moustass teased another upcoming release, questioning whether the CP had covered up a murder.

This new audio is set to air on October 22 around 6 PM.

Meanwhile, the Cybercrime Unit of the Central Crime Investigation Department has launched an investigation to locate Missie Moustass following the release of these audio recordings.

While some individuals, including Radio Plus information director Nawaz Noorbux, journalist Al Khizr Ramdin, and Shakeel Mohamed, have confirmed their participation in the discussions, the police are working to authenticate the voices on the recordings.

As of now, it is unclear whether the Cybercrime Unit has contacted the CP for verification of his voice and the conversations.

Given that Commissioner Dip meets with the Prime Minister daily, there are questions about whether he should take a leave of absence during an impartial and independent investigation, a practice seen in more developed nations.

Attempts to reach the head of the Central Barracks for comment were unsuccessful, although sources indicate that the CP remains calm.

However, it remains to be seen how he will react following this anticipated audio release.

The police communication unit has not commented on the ongoing investigation concerning Missie Moustass.

ASP Roshan Kokil: “I Thank Missie Moustass Profoundly”

Former Assistant Superintendent of Police Roshan Kokil expressed gratitude towards Missie Moustass, stating that the latest video confirms his longstanding suspicions.

He alleged that there was a conspiracy led by Commissioner Dip to force his premature retirement based on fabricated evidence presented to higher authorities to discredit him.

Kokil claimed that the internal justification for his early retirement was insufficient under Article 37 of the Disciplined Forces Service Commission regulations.

“I thank Missie Moustass from the bottom of my heart. I have already identified the individual to whom Commissioner Dip spoke in the video, and I hope that person will come forward voluntarily before I proceed with any further actions,” he stated.

Kokil also expressed concern for other officers who may have faced similar treatment from the CP.

Call for Independent Investigation by Transparency Mauritius

In a statement issued October 21, Transparency Mauritius condemned the unauthorized leaking of telephone conversations involving various public figures.

They underscored that such violations, along with the public dissemination of these recordings without following legal procedures, represent serious breaches of existing laws.

The organization highlighted the potential hazards of spreading unverified information and urged caution against such practices.

However, they also stated that if allegations of abuse of power or corruption emerge, they encourage the authorities to conduct an independent and thorough investigation in adherence to principles of good governance and the rule of law.

Linion Moris Demands Immediate Revocation of the Commissioner

Linion Moris has called for the immediate dismissal of Commissioner Dip following accusations of inappropriate remarks allegedly made concerning the Virgin Mary.

The group is planning to organize a significant protest if the Commissioner is not removed promptly.
