Don’t arrest Duminda’ – order from higher up!

Thursday, 12 February 2015

 A top figure in the new government has ordered the IGP not to arrest Colombo district MP R. Duminda Silva, who is being interrogated at length by the CID.

The CID was to arrest and detain MP Silva, based on the confessions by notorious drug racketeer Wele Suda, but that top individual had ordered the police chief not to do so. Accordingly, the CID has been forced to provide maximum facilities to MP Silva, while being questioned.

A majority in the government had various connections and struck deals with the former Rajapaksa regime and once in power, they are protecting their former benefactors, top officials of the CID told ‘Lanka News Web.’ If this continues, we warn that such persons will be exposed irrespective of their positions.
