The Hon. Shantha Padma Kumara Subasingha
Hon. Shantha Padma Kumara Subasingha questioned the need to establish a new Central Crime Investigation Unit despite the existing CID. He also asked the Minister to state, within permissible limits, what further action will be taken regarding alleged underworld figures such as “Kehelbaddara Padme” who were brought to Sri Lanka from abroad.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will ask very briefly. While the CID exists, we saw the establishment of a Central Crime Investigation Unit anew. What is the need to establish such a new unit? Along with that, I also ask: an historic event occurred—powerful underworld operatives abroad were brought to Sri Lanka. Hon. Minister, regarding “Kehelbaddara Padme” and others thus brought, within what can be disclosed, what further actions will be taken? We expect an answer for the sake of the country and this House.
