(Lanka-e-News -03.Dec.2011, 7.00PM) An underworld leader ‘Fairoz’ of Negombo who is connected with a number of crimes has gone missing since last 29th, according to reports reaching Lanka e news. Fairoz who was associated with underworld front liners like Karate Dhammika and Potta Nowfer in criminal activities had taken the place of ‘Karate Dhammika’ after Dhammika’s death and had been engaged in underworld activities
According to a complaint made by his mother to the police, Fairoz was a soldier who deserted the Army sometime ago, and was abducted or went missing at Deen junction , Negombo. The mother had stated in her complaint that when Faroz was coming in a three wheeler from Dalupotha , an armed group had abducted him.
Fairoz had been working under the father of politically powerful ‘kudu Lansa’ of Negombo district , and had been indulging in politically backed violence , murders , political revenge and assaults on media personnel . There were a number of charges against him for committing these kinds of crimes . For sometime Faiz has been working under kudu Lansa’s father looking after the Negombo beach park.
Fairoz maintained close and cordial relationship with ‘Loku Seeya’ who was abducted and killed recently . Residents of the area believe that Fairoz who is linked to kudu (drugs) business had been abducted in the same manner as Loku Seeya .
Fairoz was closely associating top politicos and high ranking police officers , and his disappearance is therefore a shock and mystery , because in Sri Lanka’s present political climate kudu dealers and their politicos are protected and hold sway , while law abiding citizens have no protection or place even before the legal processes in the country.
| As regards ‘Karate Dhammika’ , another underworld leader ,according to the police official reports he has gone missing. It is intriguing that all these underworld leaders have gone missing under suspicious circumstances , only after the Bharatha Lakshman was killed as a result of kudu Duminda Silva’s shooting, reports say. It is be interesting to note that the defense Secretary Gotabaya , a bosom pal of kudu Duminda, after the latter sustained gun shot injuries in the recent shoot out had completely stopped taking his usual evening walk along independence square , for obvious reasons. |
