South West Region Police Headquarters spokesperson Beatrice Mikuwa has confirmed the development to the local media, saying investigations are still on going.
It is alleged that Kalitsilira was who was assaulted when he went to his former boss to demand his salary, days after he was fired.
Kalitsira said he was fired on July 16, 2023 after he was accused of wrongly parking a car by his boss Shabir, who later on assaulted him.
