A man alleged to have assisted Deswhar Dutt will be produced at the Lautoka Magistrates Court today.
Police say the accused had earlier spoken to some media claiming that he was taken in by police for questioning without any reason last month which was refuted as they had received information that he was allegedly assisting Dutt.
Police say investigations conducted managed to gather information which resulted in the laying of charges.
He has been charged with one count of harbouring.
Dutt who escaped from Police custody in April, was sentenced in absentia to 15 years imprisonment by Suva High Court Judge Justice Salesi Temo.
He was convicted for two counts of aggravated robbery.
The escorting officer Sepeti Tabaiwalu told High Court Judge Justice Salesi Temo that he was tying his shoe lace when Dutt ran away.
