The Minister said legal action has already been initiated based on prior information, and the new Government is continuing deeper inquiries into possible conspiracy behind the attacks. He declined to disclose details that could affect investigations and stated that an open warrant may be obtained if necessary.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, investigations into the Easter attacks continue, and certain information has emerged suggesting that Sara Jasmine did not die. However, we have no report confirming that she is in India. Probes are ongoing, and based on prior information, legal action has already been initiated in relation to the attacks. Under the new Government, investigations into whether there was a conspiracy behind the attacks have been conducted at depth and are ongoing. I do not wish to disclose details in Parliament that could impede investigations. If necessary, an open warrant will be obtained in future.
