Concerns are mounting over the stalled investigation into a female police officer’s alleged assault by a sitting member of parliament during Carnival festivities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Inside sources suggest that senior police officials may be blocking progress in the case.<\/p>\n

The parliament member, allegedly intoxicated, was captured on video inappropriately grabbing the officer without her consent.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Although a court summons and arrest warrant were issued, attempts to apprehend the accused proved futile, as they reportedly left the country with an unknown return date.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Remarkably, the Immigration Department has no record of their departure.<\/p>\n

The officer who filed the complaint expresses frustration over the lack of progress in the case.<\/p>
