Former school teacher, Kishore Kumar.

DPP lawyer, Moira Konrote told the court today that the police officers are seeking time to execute the bench warrant against former school teacher, Kishore Kumar.

Kumar is charged with allegedly making false porn video claims on his facebook page, Kishore Kumar Publications against Lenora Qereqeretabua in 2020.

Kumar who is representing himself did not appear for his trial again.

The DPP lawyer submitted the report from the Corrections facility and stated that they seek time to investigate the matter.

The Investigating Officer says they searched for Kumar at all police stations, CWM Hospital and at his home however, Kumar cannot be found.

Magistrate Seini Puamau reminded the investigating officers to be careful when executing the bench warrant and to be clean and efficient.

She says if Kumar went and reported at the Valelevu Police Station yesterday, he could have certainly notified the court and produced his medical report.

Magistrate Puamau has extended the bench warrant and expects Kumar to be present for the trial tomorrow.
