St Au­gus­tine MP Khadi­ja Ameen says she is “okay” af­ter some­one re­port­ed to the po­lice that she was be­ing held against her will.

Around 2.22 am yes­ter­day, PC Singh, of the Va­len­cia Po­lice Sta­tion, was stopped while on mo­bile pa­trol and told that Ameen was be­ing held against her will some­where in Ma­coya Ex­ten­sion, Tu­na­puna.

PC Singh con­tact­ed an­oth­er of­fi­cer, trig­ger­ing an im­me­di­ate op­er­a­tion in the North­ern Di­vi­sion that in­clud­ed at least two units - the High-Per­for­mance Team and the North­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force.

Po­lice said Cpl Jaikaran had a brief con­ver­sa­tion with Ameen, who “gave cer­tain in­for­ma­tion” be­fore her cell­phone “went dead”.

Around 2.35 am, of­fi­cers from the North Cen­tral Di­vi­sion Task Force, led by Cpl Per­sad, stopped a black Toy­ota Rav 4 dri­ven by Ameen. The po­lice re­port did not say where the ve­hi­cle was stopped.

The MP was briefly as­sessed and found to be safe. She was then es­cort­ed to the Tu­na­puna Po­lice Sta­tion where she gave fur­ther in­for­ma­tion.

Con­tact­ed for com­ment yes­ter­day, Ameen on­ly said she was okay and had been ad­vised against speak­ing fur­ther on the is­sue.
