Former ASP Files Complaint: Conspiracy Allegations Surrounding Retirement

Former Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Roshan Kokil has filed a formal complaint with the Central Crime Investigation Department (CCID) concerning allegations of a conspiracy linked to his premature retirement from the police force. The complaint, lodged on Tuesday, November 19, targets former Police Commissioner Anil Kumar Dip, who resigned from his post following the recent legislative elections.

Kokil’s grievance stemmed from audio recordings released by a figure known as “Missie Moustass,” suggesting a collusion between Dip and a police officer aimed at orchestrating Kokil’s early retirement.

In his complaint, Kokil is insisting on a thorough investigation into these claims.

Additionally, Kokil is challenging the constitutionality of Section 37 of the Disciplined Forces Service Commission (DFSC) regulations.

This section allowed for the termination of a police member’s service based on the public interest if the responsible officer finds it unmanageable under existing regulatory provisions.

Under this regulation, the member must be informed in writing about the complaints against them and given a chance to respond before a decision is made.

It is noteworthy that Commissioner Dip had previously ordered Kokil to retire early in the interest of public welfare.

This directive was reportedly intertwined with a USB flash drive that Kokil possessed, which contained videos depicting alleged instances of torture committed by members of the Central Investigation Division in Terre-Rouge.

Following the completion of an inquiry initiated by Dip, the DFSC intervened, compelling Kokil to consider an early retirement.

Kokil is now urging the new Police Commissioner, Rampersad Sooroojbally, to take action, stressing the need to reassign a small group of individuals closely associated with Dip in order to facilitate ongoing investigations, as well as future inquiries that may arise.
