9 year old Casino den enjoying State patronage raided : SSP who conducted raid receives death threats

(Lanka-e-News-27.April.2013, 5.30PM) A senior Police officer who conducted a raid on a casino den which had been run for 9 long years unlawfully with absolute impunity openly in the center of Ratnapura Town with the patronage of the Rajapakses is receiving death threats , according to reports reaching Lanka e news. 
The raid conducted on the Casino den and the sordid details of the political bigwigs supporting it had not been highlighted by the traitorous media which calls itself national media. Following the raid conducted on this unlawful Casino den called ‘Royal Palace’ which was housed in a three storey building , Rs. 110 million cash and 8 suspects who were running it had been taken into custody.

When the arrests were made and the cash taken into custody, immense pressure had been applied by the top political bigwigs to release them. In any case the suspects and the cash were produced before the court on the 23 rd , and the suspects had been remanded. 

Subsequent to these actions , the senior police officer who was responsible for successfully conducted this raid and bringing the culprits before the law , had received death threats. The owner of this illegal Royal Palace casino is Jinadasa , a businessman who is now dead. Presently its owner is his wife who after enlisting Chandana, the murderer who is incriminated in the murder of her father ,is now running this casino business with the patronage of the murderous corrupt Rajapakses . Recently when Mahinda Rajapakse and Namal Rajapakse visited the Saman devale , they had meals at this Royal Palace (Lady’s) owner’s house. It was widely questioned whether the father and son ( mind you , the President the highest in the hierarchy of the country and his son , a synthetic lawyer who ought to know laws better ) are so morally degenerate to associate so closely with illegal casino den owners.

This is a casino den so well protected because of the political patronage it enjoyed , that a police officer could not enter it officially let alone gaze in that direction . It is with such power stemming from Rajapakse patronage that these accused were carrying on this unlawful casino business with full freedom for 9 long years.

Prishantha Jayakody SSP who took up duties in that district newly, along with his police officers conducted the raid on this unauthorized casino den on the 22 nd night. Those hooligans supposed to be the security personnel there had obstructed the police officers from entering. However , since the SSP himself was personally present on the scene , the police officers were emboldened . Therefore they had fearlessly entered the den and arrested the Manager who is already tainted with murder charges, 8 others and taken into custody Rs. 110 million , and produced them before the courts on the 23 rd. The suspects were remanded until the 29th on the court directive.

The law abiding citizens should admire the courage and integrity of Prishantha Jayakody SSP who took bold steps to carry out his duties duly despite the pressures brought to bear on him from the highest places of the Rajapakse regime notorious for all the sordid , traitorous and unscrupulous activities in the country.

Naturally in a country when lawlessness and corruption hold sway under a regime that stokes and thrives in lawlessness , it is difficult for honest, loyal and dedicated officers like Prishantha Jayakody to survive – as expected , the SSP who led the raid had received a phone call from Galle holding out death threats to him. ‘ You did not heed us , despite our telling you so many times . Okay , now prepare the coffins for you, your wife and children, ’ the caller had warned. It can be imagined the amount of power this caller wields , going by the fact that he did not make this threat covertly. He had told he is calling from Galle. Later it was confirmed that the call indeed originated from Galle.

The Police are now conducting investigations into this and the IGP is focusing special attention on this and STF soldiers had been detailed for SSP’s security .

A government spawned and supported underworld should not be allowed to exist. It is the duty of law abiding officers and citizens to ensure that it ceases to exist.
