80 policemen protect four Tamil detainees

- Nov 06, 2015

Around 80 policemen of various ranks are undergoing harassment, at the hands of TID director SSP Nalaka Silva and chief inspector Lal Gamage, who are obedient followers of retired DIG Wagista, at the Boossa detention centre of the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID), where they are supposed to be in charge of the security of the Tamil detainees.

Boossa OIC Lal Gamage is getting the policemen to do all the work at Wagista’s home, including caring for this goats and the dragonfruit plants. TID vehicles and fuel are being used for the purpose.

 

Gamage is using the powers of the retired DIG and is not allowing the policemen to visit their homes on leave. Since he is a resident of Galle, he is trying to prevent closure of the Boossa camp in order to retain his powers.

 

This camp needs only five policemen, but they are staying owing to fear of Gamage. When Wagista retired, Gamage threw a party, and made TID men to contribute Rs. 500 each, but he had the money deposited into a personal account of his.
