Manitoba New Democrats suspend caucus member pending harassment probe
WINNIPEG — Manitoba New Democrats say a member of their caucus has been suspended from attending meetings following an allegation of verbal sexual harassment.
A statement from the opposition caucus Thursday did not identify the legislature member, but two NDP sources told The Canadian Press it is Mohinder Saran, who represents The Maples constituency in Winnipeg and was first elected in 2007.
The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Saran did not return requests for comment via telephone, email and social media. A message from Saran’s Facebook page directed inquiries to caucus media relations officer Rachel Morgan, who refused to comment.
