Mohit calls for intensified efforts in search for kidnapped businessman

Chaguanas East MP, Vandana Mohit, is imploring those in authority to take action regarding the kidnapping of businessman Shashi Anand Rampersad.

She expressed concern surrounding the kidnapping of Rampersad and extended a call to action to the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), the Ministry of National Security, and all relevant agencies to intensify their efforts to secure his safe return and bring the perpetrators to justice.

She labelled the kidnapping of the central businessman as “a brazen act of violence” that has plunged the Rampersad family into unimaginable pain and left the community gripped with fear and uncertainty.

In a statement, she emphasised that Rampersad “has become another victim of a system that continues to falter in protecting its citizens. His abduction is a stark reminder of the perilous reality faced by law-abiding citizens across Trinidad and Tobago.”

She added that the kidnapping is a “heartbreaking indictment of a nation where crime continues to spiral out of control, emboldened by the seeming inaction and ineffectiveness of those entrusted with our safety.”

Mohit also demanded answers for several questions relating to Rampersad’s abduction.

-What is the government’s immediate plan to ensure Shashi Anand Rampersad is safely returned to his family?

-What measures are being implemented to combat the scourge of kidnappings that terrorize communities?

-What will the authorities do to prevent other families from enduring this
nightmare?

Mohit said she stands in solidarity with Rampersad’s family and is calling on the government to do more than “offer empty promises.”
