More than a week after he was shot by a bandit after refusing to hand over a bag with cash, money-changer Vishwahnauth Nouwbat is recovering at home from a wound he sustained to the abdomen.
A relative of the injured man confirmed that he was discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital on Saturday.
Nouwbat also known as ‘Vishal’, 36, of ‘C’ Field Sophia and his girlfriend were having a meal when a gunman, who reportedly had an accomplice waiting outside, approached him and ordered him to hand over money.
When Nouwbat refused to comply, the man shot him to the left side of his abdomen and fled without taking anything.
Eyewitnesses alleged that the bandits had to have been watching Nouwbat, who has been plying his trade outside the restaurant for a number of years.
Police investigations into the matter are ongoing.
It was just two months ago that another money-changer, Mahendra Deonarine, was shot in the abdomen just as he had disembarked from a boat at the Georgetown Ferry Stelling.
The robber relieved Deonarine of a haversack which contained an undisclosed sum of local and foreign currency, before fleeing on a motorcycle.
