Sawak Maraj, 33, a Chemical Engineer, of Lot 131 Sandyways Fairways Marabal, Trinidad and Tobago was charged with Conspiracy to commit a felony under the Kidnapping Act and Giving false information which occurred on October 27, 2017.
Attorney for Maraj, Nirvan Singh told the court that his client was made a victim twice by the police. The attorney further stressed that if granted bail, his client will be staying at the Marriott Hotel to await trial into the matter.
Police Prosecutor, Arwin Moore objected to Maraj being released on bail based on the fact that he is not a Guyanese National and is a flight risk. Moore further added that the two men who reportedly assisted Maraj in staging the kidnapping are currently on the run and have been blacklisted at the airports in Guyana and Trinidad.
As such, the Magistrate remanded him until November 16, 2017. According to reports, on the day in question, relatives of the Maraj were contacted by unknown persons via phone who indicated that their son was in custody in Guyana and that a sum of money was later demanded for his release.
