Invisible hand behind Gnanasara Thera getting bail?
The
Colombo Fort magistrate today (21) ordered that Bodu Bala Sena general
secretary Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thera, who had been evading courts, be
released on bail. The Thera surrendered to the court through his
lawyers.
Warrants were issued twice against him for not having appeared before
courts in connection with two cases. Lawyers question as to whether a
person who had been evading courts be given bail.
When the Thera was in hiding, several quarters were accused of having
protected him, including certain powerful ministers. There is suspicion
as if the Thera was given bail at the instigation of one of those
ministers. Police failed to arrest him despite warrants have been issued
twice. The IGP has told a powerful government minister that it was
difficult to arrest the Thera, as he was being protected by a top
government politician.
After he was given bail, the Thera was once again arrested by the police
and produced before the Fort magistrate. The FCID arrested him when he
arrived to give a statement.
