Former Durban-based police officer Col Rajen Aiyer, who was fired from SAPS in 2018 after a complaint of intimidation, has been arrested and charged criminally related to the same allegations.
In 2012, after Potgieter failed to pay maintenance, for their then minor children, she opened a criminal case against him.
Potgieter was convicted on these charges in January 2018. The next day he applied for a domestic violence protection order against her in the Pinetown magistrate's court. This demonstrates the gross abuse of a citizen at the hands of a then member of the police, which is ultimately a serious abuse of taxpayers' resources by those mandated to protect the vulnerableSources told TimesLIVE that Aiyer — once said to be a key witness in the abandoned and discredited “Cato Manor” case — was arrested by Ipid investigators in Durban on Monday.
