JP implicated in bogus car sale

A West Bank Demerara couple says they were almost cheated out of the ownership of their newly purchased car, and are accusing a Justice of the Peace with political connections of being involved in the scam.
Kaieteur News was told yesterday that the court however saw it fit that the vehicle be returned to the couple, but an eight month delay in accessing the car has left them behind schedule in paying their installments for the vehicle.
Babita Ramnarine, of 876 Belle West Housing Scheme Number Two Canal, West Bank Demerara, said that her husband, Sewchand Dhunmmum, decided in August 2012 to purchase a car -HC 1339- for his birthday. But she alleged that the vehicle was hijacked and individuals attempted to prove with false documents, that it was sold.
Ramnarine told Kaieteur News that the vehicle is being used as a taxi, since her husband was left physically impaired after a violent attack by bandits some time ago.
