(Lanka-e-News -02.March.2016, 11.30PM) An underworld leader and notorious drug peddler Sirinayake Pathiranage Chaminda Ravi Jayanath alias Dematagoda Chaminda alias kudu Chaminda alias Moda Chaminda alias ‘Mola,’  a prime accuser in the Bharatha Lakshman murder  was today brutally shot at by a gang when he was being taken back in the prison van to remand prison after attending court in connection with the Bharatha Lakshman case. It is noteworthy that Kudu Chaminda is also a  witness in several cases of crimes committed during  the Rajapakse era.

Near the Samantha cinema hall , Dematagoda, after blocking the prison van , the group that came in a black hybrid car KE- 2018 and in another motor bike had fired at the prison van , and then after  entering  it has fired at Chaminda. 

The firing by the brutal group had hit the stomach of Chaminda and injured three others. Four victims were admitted to hospital. The prison officers too have retaliated . The police are of the view several members of the brutal gang also would have been victims of the retaliatory shooting.  A cartridge of the brutal group had fallen on the ground , and the police had found it.  

History..

It is significant to note that when Duminda R . Silva ex M.P. , a close crony and stooge of Gotabaya Rajapakse who orchestrated the murder of Bharatha Lakshman  was being taken to hospital at that time following the shootout , Duminda’s close ally and assistant  Dematagoda  Chaminda was in the vehicle transporting Duminda to hospital.That vehicle was driven by another drug peddler cum  Chaminda’s assistant Thilan.

When Thilan was taken into  custody  with one and half kilos heroin , he escaped from Ragama hospital. Thereafter he tried to leave the country under disguise but was arrested by the anti terrorism division at Katunayake airport. Now he is again in remand custody. 

Dematagoda Chaminda after the Bharatha shooting fled to India . He was however deported to Sri Lanka by India. He was arrested at the Katunayake airport when he returned, but at that time , the Gotabaya security division publicised that Chaminda was arrested in India and brought back to SL.

Prior to the arrest of Dematagoda Chaminda and Karate Dhammika following Bahratha’s murder , both these underworld criminal leaders  conducted themselves as the unofficial murder squad of Gotabaya Rajapakse. Specially Dematagoda Chaminda posed and bragged openly that he was working in the ‘ Lokka’s unit’at Temple Trees.

Believe it or not , it was Dematagoda Chaminda the underworld criminal who functioned as the Dematagoda organizer of BBS (Bodu Bala Sena) , another Gotabaya’s  subservient and supporting violent organization . Recently , when BBS leader Galagodaathe Gnanassara was in remand custody , it was Dematagoda Chaminda who had bathed him and washed his clothes, a media that is close to him reported.

When these underworld criminals were taken into custody following Bharatha Lakshman murder , Gotabaya harbored fears that they would divulge information regarding the murders they committed for and on behalf of the Rajapakses. Gotabaya therefore used the armed division of his to murder these criminals. Accordingly , using  another  very special dependable murder team comprising three STF members, three Gajaba soldiers and three naval soldiers provided by Thisara Samarasinghe , they caused  Karate Dhammika’s disappearance. However  because Dematagoda Chaminda had links with India and was officially in custody ,Chaminda could not be murdered. Though several attempts were made to kill him while taking him to discover weapons, because these attempts came to light beforehand, the murder could not be successfully carried out. Interestingly, Gotabaya finally chased away ASP Samudrajeewa of the CID who took Dematagoda Chaminda into custody.

No matter what , it is a well and widely known fact that Dematagoda Chaminda is a main witness in many crimes committed during the Rajapakse era. The attempts made by the Rajapakse godfathers to kill him and wipe out evidence was not begun yesterday or today , it was begun long ago .

Based on reports reaching Lanka  e news inside information division ,it is being supected , this shooting today was done by Bloemendhal Sanka an assistant of ‘Army Sampath’ on a contract basis.
