Retributive justice takes time ! Prison mass murder ; Rangajeewa and Emil Ranjan arrested; when is Godfather ?
(Lanka-e-News
- 30.March.2018, 11.30PM) Niyomal Rangajeewa IP who was entrenched
in the anti Narcotics bureau of the police for many years (reasons
obvious) , and made his police profession a heroin business to become a
multi millionaire was taken into custody on the 28 th by the CID in
connection with the murder of 27 Welikade prisoners in November 2012 –
after 5 long years ! Subsequently Emil Ranjan who was performing duties
as the Welikade Magazine prison authority at that time was also
arrested . Both these suspects were to be produced in court on the 29
th.
This monumental tragedy occurred on 2012-11-09 , and Lanka e news
reported on 2012 -11 -14 that ruthless Rangajeewa with a list of names(
prepared ahead) of those to be murdered visited Welikade prison .
Lanka e news, in addition exposed the murder squad was operated by
Gotabaya and orders to murder were issued by Gotabaya . Sylvester ASP
a lackey of STF Commandant Ranawana DIG then ,also arrived in prison
on Gotabaya’s orders , Lanka e news further revealed.
When the new government took over , a three member Commission was
appointed , and eye witnesses gave evidence before the Commission that
Rangajeewa arrived in prison and gathered the prisoners to commit the
murders. They also told court that after the riot on 9 th November
within the prison had been quelled , Rangajeewa came in civil attire and
after calling out the names of the prisoners from a name list , made
them kneel down , and committed mass murder. The eye witnesses
disclosed Emil Ranjan too was on the scene.
Among the prisoners in the hit list of Rangajeewa was Harsha Manju Sri
Manukeerthi who tried to rob the Sapumal Kumaraya’s sword supposed to be
in the Rajamaha Vihara ,Kotte , to satisfy the avarice and fancies of
Rajapakses for the sword . Manju Sri finally failed in his attempt but
not before allegedly killing two monks of the temple .
It is significant to note at the time the mass murder took place in
prison , Manju Sri was in the ready to expose those who orchestrated
this sword robbery operation at the next court date.
Most of the victims in the group were those with trumped up heroin
charges foisted on them by Rangajeewa. Many of them had even been
preparing to file human rights cases against Rangajeewa . Kalu
Thushara was one of them and was not involved in any riot . When
Thushara was in the welfare Building office room , Rangajeewa had
accosted him and taken him too to the killing field . This was
witnessed by Prison Commissioner Kodipilly , Magazine prison Authority
Emil Ranjan and Welikade prison authority Gamini Jayasinghe . They were
all present there.
When Kalu Thushara was begging and screaming ‘Please Rangajeewa mahathaya don’t kill me’ . his hands were tied with a blue colored rope and murdered , eye witnesses revealed to the Commission.
In order to camouflage the murders and to justify the crimes , photos
were published with guns in front of the murdered bodies. Lanka e news
displayed photos at that time of the murdered who were unarmed , and
subsequent pictures with weapons . The government analyst department
report stated no bullets had emerged from the weapons and there were no
fingerprints of the prisoners on the firearms. It was Emil Ranjan who
introduced the weapons to camouflage the murders.
There was also a group that died during the exchange of fire
between the prisoners with the security division, and all those 27 who
died are not innocent. That was why 11 of them were not entitled to
compensation when that payment was made. But there were innocents among
those who were picked by names for liquidation .
The pertinent question is , at whose behest these cold blooded
murders were committed ? Emil Ranjan who was just a prison guard was
elevated to that high position he later held by none other than
Gotabaya . It was Gotabaya the defense secretary and not the IGP who
gave orders to the STF at that time, are salient incontrovertible facts
. Therefore Gotabaya has no escape route in these ruthless brutal
murders.
After the Commission report was handed over to the CID , following investigations the arrests of suspects have begun with Rangajeewa. At this juncture , the sordid conduct of some judges of the Supreme court have come to light. Gota is not only a most notorious criminal and crook but also a clever manipulator of unscrupulous judges of courts. He is most clever at obtaining SC restraining orders against arrests . Accordingly , a petition was filed in the SC against the arrest of Rangajeewa. However the SC dismissed the petition even without a hearing . Though Gota is enjoying that privilege of immunity from arrest despite all his criminalities and crookedness , Rangajeewa was not that lucky . He was denied that privilege. Hence Rangajeewa was arrested on the 28 th , followed by Emil Ranjan’s arrest.

Among the public are some who allege what we reveal are false
and doubt the veracity . The exposure made by us now of the Russian
warship illicit deal of Sirisena- Maharaja duo is one that came in for
such criticism. It takes time to know the truth . Need we point out ,
it took about five years to prove that our report in 2012 on the
Welikade mass murder of prisoners is true. When we revealed Rangajeewa
is a confirmed criminal , the other media took the stance that he was a
hero in the anti narcotics engagements, and whitewashed his stigma.
So are our other exposures of the stark truths. It is such unscrupulous
media coolies who are today leaving no stone unturned by foul rather
than fair means to make Gotabaya the rascally crook and criminal-
godfather steeped in worst criminalities, the future president .
The drawback is the delay to understand (Thereiy kalyayi), ‘you do
realize but you take time’ . Sadly, the delay to understand is most
portentous because by that time the culprits would have done the
irreparable damage and achieved their criminal goals to the detriment of
the entire country.
