| An Eccles, East Bank Demerara businessman and his entire household got the scare of their lives when more than a dozen heavily armed men,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, who were later identified as Police officers, invaded their home early Saturday morning under the pretext of searching for drugs, guns and ammunition.But Rishi Ramdhani, a young upholsterer, and his wife are not amused by the actions of the ranks, which reminded them of what had transpired during the Bartica slaughter.Ramdhani,Wholesale China Jerseys, called ‘Shortman,’ has vowed to lodge an official complaint with the Police Office of Professional Responsibility since, according to him, the Police actions fell far short of any sort of professionalism.He has already contacted the office of the Police Commissioner and has been referred to the Brickdam Police Station, where he is expected to give a statement.Speaking with this newspaper yesterday, the businessman, who lives in a two-flat building at 77 ‘C’ Field, Eccles, said that he and his wife occupy the upper flat of the building, while he has two sets of tenants, including a Police officer, who occupy sections of the bottom flat.He recalled that he and his family were asleep when they were aroused by loud banging on their doors, at around 03:00 hours.He said that when he enquired who it was, a voice replied “Police, open the f…ing door!”According to Ramdhani, when he enquired from the person how he was to know that they were the Police, the person replied in a very hostile way using a series of expletives.Ramdhani told this newspaper that he went to his back door,2018 Nike Air Max 97, which is also secured by a heavy grill, and peered out only to be confronted by two guns pointed in his face.“All I hear was, ‘Open de f…ing door before I shoot you!’ No uniform. I open the door. One had the gun to me still, and the other one run through the house and opened the front door and allowed about 15 other men in plainclothes in the place.”“To myself, I thought was a massacre, I gon dead now,” Ramdhani stated.His wife and two-year-old son were also aroused and stood helplessly watching at what was unfolding.According to Ramdhani, one of the ranks fell while running through his house, and his gun fell from his hand and landed in front of his already terrified wife and son.“If the gun de go off,Soccer Jerseys China, the others outside woulda thought that I shooting and they woulda shoot up me place,” he reasoned.He said that while all of this was taking place, he could hear some of his tenants downstairs screaming,Wholesale Jerseys USA, and this almost convinced the businessman that bandits had invaded his home.“I said to myself this is death. Nobody say anything, and naturally I say this is death,” Ramdhani stated.He said a few moments later another five ranks came into his house, and he managed to recognize one of them as a rank from the Ruimveldt Police Station.But he was still apprehensive, since he had no idea if the rank he recognized was still in the Police Force.“I turn to he and say, ‘policeman, wha going on here?’ he say ‘this is a search we doing’. I asked them why they did not say that from the beginning, they coulda kill me with heart attack,” the businessman recalled.He was subsequently told by the ranks that they were looking for guns, drugs and ammunition.All this time the ranks still did not produce any form of identification, nor were any of them dressed with any item of Police apparel.They, however, proceeded to search Ramdhani’s property but found nothing incriminating.The ranks took Ramdhani downstairs and even checked his motor scooter and enquired from him about a black Honda CG motorcycle.Ramdhani said that his tenants then informed him that the ranks had already searched their apartments, and in the case of the Police tenant, they saw his photograph on a wall and decided to leave.It was only then that Ramdhani noticed that the vehicles that the ranks had come with were marked Police.“The only policeman in uniform was sitting in a car. All the rest of them had on no uniform. I really thought was criminals and my pressure went up. Then one of them come and ask me for my name and address. So I said to him, ‘you coming here and you don’t know who you coming to?’ ”But Ramdhani was in no mood to argue further.He said that the ranks destroyed his grillwork in his gate, and even ripped out a portion of his fence to gain entry into his yard.Since the incident, both Ramdhani and his wife have not been able to sleep properly.“My wife is crying non-stop. My tenant whose husband is a Police,Wholesale China Jerseys Free Shpping, she locked her son in a wardrobe, thinking that it was another massacre. It was terrible. I think that if the Guyana Police Force is doing their job, they should do it in a professional manner.”Ramhani said that, during the ordeal, flashes of the reports of bandits using the Police vehicle to create mayhem at Bartica flooded his mind.Several persons have complained of similar raids by the Police, and despite pledges by the Force’s hierarchy to improve the professionalism of the ranks, incidents like this continue to happen.When contacted, a senior Police officer at the Brickdam Police Station agreed to meet with the businessman today to iron out the problem. |
