After the State admitted that Martine Desmarais was “wrongfully apprehended”, the latter has been granted damages of Rs 400,000 on behalf of SP Prem Raddhoa and the commissioner of police for the prejudice caused by her arrest.

She was adamant that she was “kidnapped” by the police without any warrant and was treated like a criminal. She had asked for Rs 20 million but accepted an arrangement after the State admitted it was in the wrong. For her, it was “a great day for human rights”
