Disciplinary action against Prof. Ananda Samarasekara!

May 26, 2016

The Sri Lanka Medical Council today (26) gave a written undertaking to Colombo magistrate’s court no. 03 that disciplinary action would be taken with regard to the report submitted by Prof. Ananda Samarasekara, Dr. Rajaguru and another doctor who performed the first postmortem examination into the body of Wasim Thajudeen. With that promise, the SLMC submitted a new postmortem examination report to the court.

It has accepted that Prof. Samarasekara and the other two doctors were responsible for the disappearance of the leg bones of Thajudeen. Based on Samarasekara’s report, magistrate Nishantha Peiris had ruled that Thajudeen had died in a vehicle accident.

The Attorney General’s Department is of the view that legal action could be initiated against the three on charges of criminal negligence, concealing evidence and conspiracy. Therefore, Prof. Samarasekara and the two others are risking arrest.

Commenting on this, a legal expert told us that the Thajudeen case could be the best criminal case in recent history.
