The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper questioned why only two police officers have been detained in relation to the Easter attacks since the Government took office, despite the CID identifying four Army intelligence officers allegedly connected to the matter. He asked whether there was a specific reason detention orders had not been obtained and the officers had not been arrested.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, thank you for the answers. My first supplementary question: Since this Government assumed office, only two police officers have been held under detention orders in relation to the Easter attacks. The CID identified and named four Army intelligence officers who served under your authority when you were a commanding officer in 2019. However, detention orders have not been obtained against them and they have not been arrested to date. Is there a specific reason?
