DIG Anura Senanayake is a prime suspect in Museum robbery -Police sources say

(Lanka-e-News -28.Aug.2012, 9.00PM) The officers within the Police Force itself allege that Senior DIG Colombo, Anura Senanayake is involved in the recent museum robbery of valuable artifacts , based on the spurious drama he is enacting when directing operations to apprehend the culprits.
Hereunder are the revelations pertaining to this incident.
Before the robbery ….
1.The Institutions including the museum within the high security zone were for a long period under the purview of the Cinnamon Gardens Police.
The Museum was provided with security by the Cinnamon Gardens police post and the mobile unit for a long while duly. As evidence in support of this , there are the night patrol security duty register; a register of the stations of the chiefs and the deployment of officers ; the Register which records the Police station OIC ‘s views and ASP’s register recording his minutes .
2.While this was the prevalent Museum security situation , Anura Senanayake , with his promotion to the post of DIG , Colombo, some time prior to this robbery had , without adducing any reasons brought the security coverage of the Museum and the High security zone which belonged to the Cinnamon gardens police within the purview of the Colombo crime division (CCD) under him. The Cinnamon gardens police security post and the security night patrol providing security to the Museum also ceased functioning with that change.
Though the CCD took over , neither the police security post nor the mobile security was carried on by it . There are no registers of the CCD to confirm that such security services were carried on. It is therefore a most vexatious question why , Anura Senanayake ( justifiably called as another suspect by the police officers) committed this glaring omission ?
The CCD was originated by former IGP Late Lucky Kodituwakku to conduct operations regarding the special crimes raging in Colombo, and not to take over to the CCD the task of providing security to special Institutions , and to run police posts or mobile security units.
The next question is , what prompted Anura Senanayake to undertake this task without any reason ? The Minister Balasooriya in Parliament fiercely questioned why the police security post was withdrawn prior to the Museum robbery ? He stated there were only three officers of the dept. providing security to the Museum. In the circumstances , there had sprung up grave doubts that the notorious Anura Senanayake had deliberately created an environment conducive to the robbery .
