An investigation against the police officer who hid the truth

Dec 10, 2015

The Colombo magistrate has ordered the Criminal Investigation Department to start an investigation against the police officers who was involved in hiding the truth of the mysterious death of the rugby player Wasim Thajudeen.

When the case was called today Thajudeen’s family lawyer told the magistrate the then DIG Anura Senanayake has told Thajudeen’s father that since Thajudeen was killed in a car accident it is unable to continue investigations.

 

However since the new judicial medical report confirms that Wasim Tajudeen’s death was not caused by an accident the lawyer urged the courts to order CID to start investigating against the police officers who deliberately tried to hide the facts.

 

The respondents lawyer Mohamed Mishbaq said the courts has imposed an order to the CID.

 

The CID reporting to the magistrate said it is necessary to conduct an investigation of the former judicial medical officer Dr. Ananda Samarasekara and his group who conducted the first post mortem for giving a false medical report. Accepting the fact the magistrate ordered the CID and the Sri Lanka medical council to immediately start an investigation.

 

The CID further said that they are conducting investigations with the help of the CCTV which was fixed at the Kirulopona and the Narahenpita intersections. The police said they have given the CCTV footage to the IT section of the University of Colombo to identify the people and the vehicles travelling.

 

The magistrate ordered the Colombo University to submit the reports to the courts within 14 days. The case was postponed for January 7th.
