Vidya’s soul seeks justice in front of AG’s dept!
Feb 07, 2017
The entire country was heated up with the news of Sivaloganathan Vidya, a schoolgirl of Pungudutivu in Jaffna being gang-raped by nine men and murdered on 13 May 2015. Now, it seems excepting her parents and relatives, that flames have ceased to exist. It is clear that instead of ensuring justice for Vidya, attempts have been made by the judicial process to get one of the criminals, a friend of a powerful figure, cleared.
Previously too, we exposed how Colombo University law faculty’s dean Prof. V.T. Thamilmaran and Lalith A. Jayasinghe, the Jaffna senior DIG then and Batticaloa senior DIG now, aided Mahalingam Sasikumar alias Swiss Kumar who had masterminded the crime, to escape and flee the country. That article is affixed herewith.
Reports reaching us say that conspiracy is still very much on within the judiciary and the attorney general’s department. As measures were being taken to arrest those who had aided the criminal to flee, a senior advocate of the AG’s department has advised the police thus, “Those who will get caught are known to us. Therefore, let’s see if this can be settled internally through talks.” The ‘pupils’ of Prof. Thamilmaran have become so powerful in the department that they could see the planned abduction, gang-rape and murder of a schoolgirl by nine criminals as one that can be ‘settled through talks’.
However, the Jaffna magistrate is concerned over the developments and has told a group of lawyers, “See, nothing has been done against the criminals in one and a half years. How can we safeguard the public confidence in the judiciary?” If the law continues to keep silent over such incidents that will create a situation in which the people will take the law into their hands. What will happen again cannot be said after the Jaffna public rose up against the releasing of Swiss Kumar by the police just days after the crime.
The tragedy of Vidya’s soul weeping and asking for justice in front of the AG’s department is happening now. Lanka News Web is ready to bring to you another article with the identities of the accomplices to this crime.
