(No. B/14) Mr K. Rookny (Third Member for Pamplemousses & Triolet) asked the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister for Rodrigues and Outer Islands whether, in regard to the aggression committed against one Mr. R. D. B. of Residence Mère Theresa, in Triolet, reported on or about 08 March 2026 at the Triolet Police Station, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Commissioner of Police, information as to the number of arrests effected in connection therewith, if any, indicating the charges preferred against them, if any.
Reply: I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that, on 08 March 2026, Mr R.D.B, aged 42 and residing at Triolet, reported a case of assault against him and his spouse at the Triolet Police Station. On the same day, Police Officers of the Triolet Police Station, together with Mr R.D.B, examined the site of the incident and looked for the alleged assaulters, but the latter were not found. According to the statement of Mr R.D.B., on 04 March 2026, he was in front of his residence when a private car, driven by a lady, drove on the left foot of his neighbour’s daughter, aged 06. The driver did not stop. After the incident, he went to the residence of the lady driver and reproached her. He then returned to his residence. Mr R.D.B. further alleged that, whilst he was about to convey the child to the hospital, the brother of the lady driver arrived, used filthy languages to his address and tried to hit him but he managed to escape. Subsequently, he brought the child to hospital. On his return, his neighbours informed him that some people were looking for him. According to Mr R.D.B., on 08 March 2026, when he was at his entrance gate, he was assaulted by the brother of the lady driver and other persons. He attended hospital for treatment. As at date, police enquiry is underway. ENTITIES – FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE GRANT – QUANTUM RECOUPED – OUTSTANDING BALANCE
