(Lanka-e-News -14.Feb.2012, 7.00PM) When a suspect was being taken back to the prison after his attending court , a group which came in the white Van had abducted the suspect after assaulting the prison officers in broad daylight yesterday noon right in front of the Colombo courts.
The suspect who was so abducted was Chandrapala Mervyn . He had been charged for cannabis (ganja) and drugs dealings and released on bail yesterday . Eye witnesses said there were six members in the group of abductors.
The relatives of the suspect who was abducted have lodged a complaint with the Keselwatte police.
Meanwhile , a businessman from Canal Road , Wellawatte had been abducted by a group that came in the white Van on the 12th evening , when he was standing in front of his house .
The police stated that the abductors in the white Van have telephoned the wife of the abducted businessman in the night and demanded a ransom of Rs. 100 million for his release.
The victim of the abduction is Businessman Ramasamy Prabhakaran alias Majestic Prabha .
What is most significant to note here is , these abductions and killings by the white Van allegedly done with Regime’s patronage had abducted this businessman for ransom in vile ‘Wild Chicago style’, when the American State Additional Secretary Robert Blake was here to discuss issues relating to human rights violations in SL.
It is being questioned by the general public like in the old story of the shepherd boy where he while tending his sheep screamed ‘wolf’ ,always for his own fun and frolic, finally had no one to save him and his sheep when the wolf actually appeared , whether the Govt . which used the white Van to abduct , kill and intimidate its citizens to achieve its own selfish criminal agendas has lost control over the white Van (like the Shepherd boy losing everything when the very ‘wolf’ used by him for idle amusement appeared truly in its
viciousness )which is now being used by Govt.’s own criminals for demanding ransom as well from law abiding citizens.
