Jaswant Murilal, 27, of First Street, Martyrโ€™s Ville, Mon Repos, was charged with the offence of Dangerous Driving, contrary to Section 36(1) of the Road and Motor Vehicles Act, Chapter 51.

The charge followed after a video circulated on social media showing Murilal driving at an alleged high rate of speed along the Ogle/Eccles Highway. The footage showed the vehicle subsequently losing control, crossing the median and entering the lane of oncoming traffic, narrowly avoiding collisions with other motor vehicles.

On Wednesday January 28, 2026, Murilal appeared at the Diamond Magistrateโ€™s Court before His Worship Dylon Bess, where the charge was read to him. He pleaded guilty and was fined fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) Guyana currency or twelve (12) monthsโ€™ imprisonment.
