Detective flees Sri Lanka after ‘death threats'
Tuesday, 26th November 2019
A Sri Lankan detective investigating prominent cases has left the nation after accepting passing dangers not long after the difference in government, police and media reports said Monday.
Monitor Nishantha Silva has looked for refuge in Switzerland, as indicated by media reports. He left the island on Sunday without illuminating his Criminal Investigations Department superiors, a police explanation said.
"There are different charges that this official had been one-sided during his examinations in the previous four-and-a-half years," the police explanation said without giving subtleties.
The Daily Mirror paper said Silva left in the wake of accepting passing dangers after Gotabaya Rajapaksa won a presidential political race on November 16.
His examinations included prominent killings and debasement including organization individuals under previous president Mahinda Rajapaksa, sibling of the new president, who administered for ten years until 2015. Mahinda Rajapaksa has come back to control as head administrator after driving his more youthful sibling's ongoing political race battle.
Police said there was no pending disciplinary activity against Silva, yet a request will be started to discover how he left the nation without authorization.
Silva was expelled from his CID post a year ago after Mahinda Rajapaksa quickly filled in as executive. In any case, he was reestablished after that organization crumbled. Among the circumstances, he was examining was the 2009 death of editorial manager Lasantha Wickrematunge by a supposed hit squad.
