Qereqeretabua has been advised to give additional statement - Police

Police have confirmed that they have advised National Federation Party parliamentarian, Lenora Qereqeretabua to give an additional statement to pursue the investigation relating to sacked teacher, Kishore Kumar saying that a male Fijian parliamentarian of Indian descent was behind the derogatory posts.

When questioned, Police spokesperson, Ana Naisoro says Qereqeretabua has been advised that Police will investigate the claims made by Kumar.

Qereqeretabua had earlier said that she has been assured by Police that Kumar’s allegations against the male parliamentarian, is also part of the investigation and she does not have to file another complaint.

She says she received the official response from Police at the end of last week.

Qereqeretabua says she is now awaiting the outcome of the investigation as the allegation about a parliamentarian involved is also serious.

Kumar has said in a public facebook post that the alleged porn video was given to him by a Fijian of Indian Origin MP to convert to MP4 format. He says once the conversion was done, the same MP allegedly asked him to publish the leaked sex video on Kumar’s social media page and the parliamentarian offered him $75,000 cash in a bag filled with $100 notes.

He also says that he has received death threats from this male parliamentarian that if Kumar ever reveals the MP’s name, he will have his people kill Kumar in a bomb blast.

Kishore Kumar claims the same MP who had a series of conversations with him via phone is now telling Fiji that he does not know Kumar and has no links with him. He says Vodafone can confirm if the Fijian of Indian origin Member of Parliament had links to Kishore Kumar Publications by revealing call records from the database.

Kumar has also said publicly that he cannot publish the name of the Member of Parliament who offered him $75,000 because if he can offer Kumar that much cash to publish a leaked sex video, he can also offer another person cash to assassinate Kumar.

Kumar has also claimed that the same parliamentarian paid him more than $9,000 in cash and food vouchers to put up posts about other political parties and politicians.
