Unlucky 13 brings luck to the police : attempted murder on BASL President –police take refuge under 13
(Lanka-e-News-20.July.2014, 7.30PM) Sad to reveal, in keeping with the prevailing raging lawlessness in the country , even after 5 days have elapsed, no breakthrough has been made in regard to the suspects who recently trailed Upul Jayasuriya , the President of the Bar association of Sri Lanka (BASL) in broad daylight in the capital city of Colombo . Upul Jayasuriya was followed by unidentified motor cyclists who were later joined by those in a three wheeler .

In this connection police had a most strange ‘fairy tale’ to relate . The Colombo crime investigation division (CCD) stated , the registration numbers WPUB 4072 and 207- 5314 of the motor bike and the three wheeler respectively have not been registered with the motor vehicle registration department (RMV) . The most perplexing question is , then how come the numbers preceding and succeeding the numbers of both these vehicles have been registered with the RMV, but not the numbers of these vehicles in question. The CCD clever at making and breaking the law had a most ludicrous answer to furnish : it stated since the digits of these numbers of each of these vehicles when added totals to 13 (unlucky), those numbers were not registered. 

The worst part ? the police that were aware these numbers of the two vehicles have not been registered , have looked the other way when two vehicles with same fake numbers of which the police were fully aware were roaming in the high security zone.

The motor cycle that was following Upul Jayasuriya had commenced its pursuit from a restaurant near Galadhari hotel, that is just a stone's throw distance from the President's palace . Later the motorcycle and the three wheeler that were hovering around Jayasuriya's office was on Flower road , just a stone's throw away from the Prime Minister's office. It is also significant to note that all these areas are within the high security zone , and Gota’s CCTV cameras have been installed there. Yet the police had still not been able to make a breakthrough in its investigations until today even after 5 days have elapsed. 

Meanwhile the reports received by Lanka e news inside information division , convey a different picture : These numbers are used by M.O.D. ( Defense Ministry intelligence division ) ,and the two riders on the motor cycle were from the intelligence division of the forces who were entrusted with the contract to assassinate Upul Jayasuriya.

Incidentally , this attempt to murder Jayasuriya , bears all the signs that characterized the murders committed in the past by the murder squad that operated under Gotabaya Rajapakse. None of those cold blooded crimes were committed after barging into houses or offices. All those murders and abductions were done by laying in wait for the victim on the road , and seizing them when alone.

It is significant that this latest stalking was done on the day Upul Jayasuriya's driver fell sick. Usually , on the days his driver is indisposed , Jayasuriya drives the vehicle himself. Fortunately for Jayasuriya on that day of attempted murder, Jayasuriya had been having another person with him as a consort.
