A Computer Science teacher at Ratu Sukuna Memorial School, Kumar had been attacking NFP MP Lenora Qereqeretabua and claiming he had in his possession a pornographic video of her.

Late Monday afternoon, Kumar removed all these videos soon after he was suspended pending investigations for possible breaches of the Civil Service Code of Conduct.

In another development, the National Federation Party has uploaded a video in which Kumar claims to be working for the FijiFirst Party.

The video on the NFP Facebook page dates back to 2017 and was filmed during a Party rally in Nasinu.

Kumar identifies himself as the leader of the “Investigative Research Intelligence Unit” on social media and the head administrator of FijiFirst on social media.

However, none of these have been verified by FijiFirst.

FBC News has sent questions to Party General Secretary Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
