The police have denied reports in the media that Dev Sharma, who was kidnapped on Wednesday had not received prompt assistance from them.
A release yesterday from the Police Public Relations Office said that after Sharma had called his father at around 5:05am from the Guyana School of Agriculture, he then called the Beterverwagting Police Station at about 5:25am telling them that he had asked his father to pick him up.
The police then alerted a senior detective from Cove and John, the statement continued, and he called Sharma saying that if his father arrived before the police, then he should stop at Beterverwagting Police Station.
When the police went to the Guyana School of Agriculture, the release said, Sharma had already left, and he did not stop at the police station.
