Packing of heroin done in DIG’s house; suspect allowed to escape from prison- anti narcotic bureau is now agent for heroin traffickers
(Lanka-e-News-07.Aug.2014, 11.30PM) Following the large quantity of heroin and the LTTE international heroin chain coming within the embrace of Medamulana Rajapakses after KP , an ex LTTE leader becoming a pet of the Rajapakse regime, the State anti narcotics bureau which is there to prevent and kill heroin business has transformed into a bureau that protects and promotes heroin business and fills the pockets of drug barons. It is with deep regret Lanka e News brings to you this report which exposes how the heroin dealers are being aided and abetted by police top brass in the ranks as high as DIGs enjoying the patronage of the rulers.
May we recall that recently container loads of heroin were detected by the Customs , and there are mounting allegations that powerful government politicos are involved in these businesses directly or indirectly , otherwise no person ,group or organization would dare to get down such large quantities of heroin so outrageously , having knowledge of the fact that even for possession of as small as 2 grams of heroin , the suspect is liable to death sentence.
Can you beat this ! ‘Wanatthe Thilan ‘ alias Devakage Thusitha Chamara (29 years old) residing at Magazine road , Borella ,a closest crony of MP Duminda Silva who was taken into custody by the security division with one and half kilos of heroin on June 20 th had been carrying on his heroin packeting business within the house of DIG Indu Karunaratne.
The DIG’s house is situated in Muthetuwagama ,Talangama on 5 th lane, in Colombo District. Although the culprit was arrested along with the heroin while he was within the aforementioned house of the DIG , the latter had still not even been interrogated or a statement of his recorded.
On the 30 th of June , that is exactly ten days after he was arrested , Thilan escaped from custody with the tacit support of the police and prison authorities , further underlining the raging lawlessness in the country and weakness of law enforcement.

According to reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division , it is narcotic bureau police constable (PC) Lasantha residing at Kalutara who had helped Thilan to escape . Lasantha is a most favorite lackey of IP Rangajeewa of the narcotics bureau who for ten years works in narcotic bureau.
After the discovery of this serious lapse of duty of Lasantha , the punishment meted out to him by the Director of the narcotics bureau SP Kamal Silva was merely stopping Lasantha from reporting for work.
Kamal Silva suppressed the information regarding the close links Lasantha had with Indu Karunaratne. In fact , we are made to understand even the IGP ought to have come to know about Indu Karunaratne’s involvement in this heroin menace only after reading this report.
Previously , Asela PC was the favorite crony of Rangajeewa . When Asela was trapped after it came to be known that he was having links with heroin dealers , he fled to Italy. Thereafter Lasantha took over the place of Asela for Rangajeewa. Even after these two involvements with heroin dealers , it is a most crucial question why Rangajeewa had not been questioned so far.
Instead of following this lawful action , what Rangajeewa did was arrest individuals who have no heroin links , make a huge din about it via the media , and through false news reports portray himself as a hero while he is truly a heroin villain. One good illustration of this is , when Rangajeewa’s lackey cum crony Lasantha allowed Thilan to escape , the mother and daughter of heroin dealer Wele Sudha against whom a case has already been filed after arrest , being taken into custody. Along with that a wide publicity was given in that connection.
It is worthy of note that Wele Sudha’s wife was in remand custody for over a year , case had also been filed and she was enlarged on bail . When she was taken into custody this time she did not have any heroin in her possession. Under the law , if any suspect is taken into custody sans heroin , the law requires that the suspect be freed. In the circumstances , the arrest of Wele Sudha ‘s wife and mother is just a ‘magic feat ’ accomplished by the media.
On the contrary , truly speaking , it is DIG Indu Karunaratne who should have been arrested in whose house panadol powder was being mixed while packing the heroin , as well as Lasantha PC or the jailors who allowed Thilan to escape.
Rangajeewa of the narcotics bureau and its director Kamal Silva are already under the thumb of heroin dealers . Their subsistence is on heroin business . The more heroin business flourishes the more they thrive.
It may seem incredible but the truth of the matter is , Rajapakses whose reputation has soared to high heavens as a regime most infamous locally and internationally for promoting and protecting heroin business and traffickers , have adopted their own strategies towards achieving their sinister goals. The Rajapakses have appointed the aforementioned scoundrels and unscrupulous officers at the high places to ensure that their own drug dealers are protected , while taking rival drug dealers into custody. These facts are further corroborated by the palatial residences owned by these officers of the narcotics bureau including Rangajeewa and the subordinate constables . Believe it or not , IP Rangajeewa owns a mansion valued at
