Attempt to appoint a corrupt man as CID director!

Monday, 09 February 2015

Incumbent director of the CID, SSP R.L.D. Ranaweera is to be removed with immediate effect and another corrupt officer, SSP Sugath Nagahamulla is to be appointed to the position, according to documents that are being prepared at the police headquarters.

Reports reaching Lanka News Web say that previously, Nagahamulla was removed as deputy director of the CID on charges of misappropriating money, extorting money from suspects to throw away complaints and using his powers to have sexual relationships with women constables. He is a known womanizer in the department.

The no. 5 unit of the commercial crime division of the CID has recorded a statement given by a complainant that Nagahamulla had demanded and was paid Rs. 500,000 to take up his case.

Despite instructions by president Maithripala Sirisena not to make any changes at the CID that would disrupt important investigations underway, public security, Christian affairs and disaster management minister John Amaratunga has got involved in effecting this transfer. Considering the connections minister Amaratunga has had with the Rajapaksas, this is suspected to be an attempt to cover up investigations against the Rajapaksas, say our sources further.
