Guyana police brass break silence on rape allegation against Deputy Commissioner

Guyana's Police Force and Home Affairs Minister have publicly addressed a sexual-offence complaint filed by a female inspector against Deputy Police Commissioner Fizal Karimbaksh, head of SOCU. The allegation, made nearly a week ago, has triggered an institutional response, but no formal charges or suspension have been confirmed. This is a high-profile internal law-enforcement scandal in a country with ongoing corruption concerns, potentially affecting public trust in state institutions.
