Ex-HQI to be charged over assault on Manjula Tilakaratne

Jun 05, 2016

Charges can be filed against the then Mt. Lavinia HQI, chief inspector Pushpakumara over the assault on former secretary of the Judicial Services Commission Manjula Tilakaratne, reports say.

It is questionable that that CID has not paid proper attention to a statement given by an underworld member that together with him, Pushpakumara, a closest friend of the Rajapaksa family, had carried out the assault.

 

Called by ‘Pushpe Aiya’ by Namal Rajapaksa, this policeman is presently an ASP in the Colombo traffic division. Neither an investigation carried out over accusations that Pushpakumara has amassed wealth illegally with the knowledge of the Rajapaksas during their rule.
