Po­lice have in­creased pa­trols around the home of Min­is­ter of Fi­nance Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo MP and a rel­a­tive fol­low­ing a re­cent threat.

The in­ci­dent oc­curred on May 24, 2025, when a man armed with a cut­lass ap­peared out­side a rel­a­tive’s home in Fyz­abad around 6:13 pm.

Dressed in dark cloth­ing and rid­ing a bi­cy­cle, the man re­port­ed­ly asked to speak with Min­is­ter Tan­coo’s 43-year-old fe­male rel­a­tive.

He in­struct­ed her to pass a mes­sage to Min­is­ter Tan­coo for Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der, warn­ing:

“Tell the Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty there is a wave in crime in Fyz­abad, to beef up se­cu­ri­ty and po­lice and doh stay home.”

The man then rode off.

Of­fi­cers of the South-West­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force can­vassed the area and re­viewed CCTV footage, but as of this morn­ing, the sus­pect had not been found.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
