Trinidad and Tobago’s attorney general, Anand Ramlogan says he has had to request more security after threats to his life by former People’s National Movement (PNM) councillor, Dansam Dhansook.
The Trinidad Guardian reported that Ramlogan made the statement during a post Cabinet news conference at the Prime Minister’s Office.
Dhansook had filed an action in court several years ago, alleging that he had offered a bribe to then minister of Works and Transport Franklin Khan.
Khan was subsequently cleared of all charges and Dhansook issued an apology. But Ramlogan said Dhansook had nothing to do with the victory achieved by Khan, who is seeking to become chairman of the PNM in next month’s party elections.
Ramlogan said that he received three letters from Dhansook that he interpreted as threats to himself and family. He said that he then called the commissioner of police and asked him to investigate.
