COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s fresh government has ordered the authorities to reinvestigate some high-profile situations, including the 2019 Easter Sunday terror strikes and the 2005 death of a Tamil minority group blogger. The ruling National People’s Power, which won the presidential election next month, pledged to reinvestigate earlier circumstances which had not been resolved.
The ministry of public security took actions to catch any mistakes in studies.
According to police spokeswoman Nihal Thalduwa, the government has requested that the acting police captain reexamine these cases, according to official Nihal Thalduwa on Saturday.
The circumstances to be reinvestigated include the alleged fraud in the issue of Central Bank ties in 2015 blamed on the next state of Ranil Wickremesinghe, the former leader, and the 2019 Easter Sunday evil attacks that killed over 270 folks, including 11 Indians.
The catholic religion has been demanding severe punishment for what they alleged was a politically motivated cover-up by previous governments during the problems.
The 2005 death and disappearance of a Tamil minority educational who was the head of the Eastern University at the time, as well as the other cases that are being looked into, are two of the cases that are currently being investigated.
The list also includes the removal of two political gathering activists in the northern city of Jaffna in 2011.
