(Lanka-e-News-20.Dec.2013, 11.55PM) The innocent victims of Namal Rajapakse vehicle fleet accident at Kotadeniyawa in which one victim died most tragically and the leg of the other was amputated , consequent upon which he is permanently disabled, are to be made liable to pay compensation for the damage caused to a wall of a house due to the accident, based on a decision taken under the SL’s present Rajapakse’s reign which lawless decision surpasses verdicts given by the ancient eccentric King Kekille, according to reports reaching Lanka e news based on Rajapakse.The most cruel part of the investigation into this fatal accident resulting from Namal’s racing sport mania and puerile gratification of his funny and frolicsome whims at the expense of precious lives is : the driver of the vehicle has still not been arrested. Besides , the conduct of the Kotadeniyawa police governed by Namal’s instructions is most deplorable and disgraceful. This fatal accident which was caused by Namal ( we say Namal caused the death because, following the accident in which the victims were run over by Namal’s fleet of vehicles , instead of taking measures to immediately dispatching the victims to the hospital , the driver and Namal’s vehicle fleet fled from the scene most inhumanly after stopping to have a brief look at the tragedy and dying victim.)
The funeral of innocent 50 year old Subasinghe Appuhamilage Samarasinghe residing at Nalle, Koradaminne, Kotadeniyawa will take place today(20).
The Kotadeniyawa police which are in fear that they would be attacked by the provoked residents have got down 80 supernumerary policemen of the neighboring police stations to reinforce the Katadeniyawa police station, it is learnt.
Though the deceased and the other victim Ruparatne whose leg is amputated and still in hospital are popular SLFP ers of the village , neither Namal nor any SLFP leader had visited the hospital or sighted the village after the accident.
Hereunder is the full report of the hit and run frolicsome Namal’s dastardly conduct , and the equally unlawful conduct of the law enforcers – the police :
This fatal accident occurred on the 8 th of December at 9.58 p.m. at Nalladeniya on the Colombo- Kurunegala main road . Namal and his fleet of vehicles including 3 jeeps have been traveling towards Colombo at a reckless speed of 110 kms per hour . Samarasinghe and Ruparatne had also been traveling in the same direction on a motorcycle No. P S 0223 as was Namal’s fleet when the defender vehicle W P K D 9976 belonging to the President’s security division (PSD) of Namal’s fleet had run over the innocent motor cyclists and hit the concrete wall of the house belonging to Ms. D B Rupamathie Chandralatha . The killer defender vehicle had traveled 85 meters even after the collision before it could be stopped and not before the gate of the house too was completely dislodged, clearly indicating the most reckless manner in which Namal and his fleet had been speeding on a public road.
After the two unfortunate victims were admitted to hospital the legs of both of them had to be amputated . Samarasinghe succumbed to his injuries at 5.35 p.m. on the 18 th. It is worthy of note that under the laws of the country , everybody irrespective of his position or status ( VIP or not) must abide by the speed limit. It is only a traffic division police officer who can transgress this law. This is because he may have the need to speed in order to arrest a traffic law offender.
Following the accident , Namal and his fleet had fled the scene in order to escape from others who noticed them ,after discarding the vehicle involved in the accident . Yet there is a n eye witness, and it is a TDI vehicle that is involved in the accident. The driver who had surrendered is 29 years old Jayakody Arachchilage Jeewan Mahesh residing at 101/3 , Pansala road , Rukgahavila Nittambuwa bearing identity card No. 832960160 and driving license No. is 1432565
Despite the glaring fact that it is the driver of Namal’s security vehicle who was fully responsible for this fatal accident , a most strange and concocted investigation report has been prepared by SP R. B. S. Wijeratne in charge of Negombo police 3 division appointed by DIG S .M. Wickremesinghe in charge of the PSD on the orders of Medamulana MaRa and Namal.
The distorted version of the accident according to police record:
The motor cycle No. W P S 0223 that was traveling along Colombo- Kurunegala main road had lost control and collided with Jeep No. 0076 which was going along the main road . The motorcyclist had been driving carelessly under section 151 of the motor traffic Commissioner Act. and met with the accident. A case is to be filed in this connection shortly. The case No. is 1947/2013 and the date of hearing is 6 th January 2014. In other words this is ancient Kekille King ‘s court hearing in the modern Rajapakse’s Kangaroo court. It is also learnt that compensation is also to be extracted from the victims of the accident via this hearing. The victims will have to pay compensation to the damaged wall of Rupamathie and the damaged jeep .
In the statement of Rupamathie it is mentioned she incurred a loss of about Rs. 2,63.000 because of the damage caused to the wall. Her statement has been recorded based on the distorted version of the incident.
This is a fatal accident and therefore it is a non -bailable offence , yet the driver of the jeep had still not been taken into custody. Besides , this jeep had not been subjected to an examination by the official traffic department examiner , and had already been released.
An officer who had followed a traffic course of the DIG can examine a vehicle , but when the vehicle is involved in a fatal accident it is a mandatory requirement that an accredited motor examiner inspects it. That too had not been done which is a flagrant violation of the traffic laws.
These conspirators who had got alarmed following the death of the accident victim Samarasinghe have hidden the motor traffic complaint register (T I B ) and the daily records register (R I B) at Kotadeniyawa police and replaced them with new registers. The Negombo SSP had taken and gone the old registers.
Interestingly , it is the Kotadeniyawa police OIC Udayakmara IP who had most energetically and enthusiastically acted to facilitate this conspiracy. In fact , it is learnt that Medamulana MaRa had called the Negombo police and personally thanked them for extricating his ‘golden’ son from the criminal involvement (by foul means) .
