Police have refuted claims made by CNC3 News and the Trinidad Guardian regarding the medical access of Star Sabga, who is currently under house arrest. According to the reports, Sabga’s legal team had been waiting nearly three weeks for the Commissioner of Police to authorize a medical visit. However, police sources contest the narrative, asserting that Sabga was indeed examined by her family doctor on August 8.
Police insiders informed I.A.N News that the examination was conducted in the presence of two officers, ensuring protocol was maintained. A female officer remained in close proximity during the consultation, safeguarding against unauthorized communication.
This clarification follows the prominent news coverage that suggested Sabga’s access to healthcare had been hindered by police inaction. Police sources disclosed that an attorney had previously expressed gratitude to the State for facilitating the medical visit, a detail that contradicts the reports’ implications.
Emphasizing their commitment to legal obligations, the police stated that they had complied with court orders to meet Sabga’s medical and other needs. The State plans to address these concerns in a media briefing scheduled for later today.
This development underscores the need for accurate reporting, especially in matters involving legal and medical oversight. The police remain firm in their stance, aiming to provide clarity and uphold their duties under current legal frameworks.
