Kudu Lal JP wanted by India on drugs charge

The notorious drug trafficker Lal Peiris alias Kudu Lal who was recently sworn in as a Justice of the Peace is wanted by the Indian government in connection with a massive ten kilo drug bust, a Police Narcotics Bureau official said yesterday.
'The PNB was informed by the Indian police that Kudu Lal is the main suspect in a narcotics investigation', he said. The officer said the airport authorities had been alerted in case Lal Peries attempted to leave the country.
Meanwhile Justice Minster, John Seneviratne has told Police Chief Chandra Fernando to hold a full inquiry and submit a report to him on Lal Peries after a controversy arose over his October 7 swearing-in before the Additional Colombo Magistrate Sujeewa Nissanka.
Reportedly Lal Peiris was accompanied for the swearing-in by Deputy Minister Mervyn Silva who is said to have recommended Lal Peries for the post of JP.
The noted underworld character residing at 190/2, Kirimetiyagara, Kadawatha was appointed as a JP by gazette notification of September 9.
A Justice Ministry official said the usual procedure for JP appointments was based on reports from the police and the Grama Sevaka and if a person so recommended was found unsuitable, then the Kadawatha OIC and the Grama Seva Niladhari who recommended Lal Peries should be held responsible.
The Justice Ministry in a statement last week said an opportunity was given to the people`s representatives to recommend suitable persons for appointment as JPs and such appointments were made on the recommendations of the police and the Grama Seva Niladhari.
'In this instance Lal Peiris has submitted an application, stating he has passed his A/L examination, is a businessman and the President of the Sinhala Buddhist Society and is holding office in many other societies', the official said.
He said the application was recommended by deputy Labour Minster Mervyn Silva, the Kadawatha Grama Seva Niladhari had issued a certificate of residence and character stating the applicant`s character was very good.
The Kadawatha Police OIC had issued a clearance certificate stating there was no record of a criminal report against the applicant since 2000.
Last week the Justice Minster said the appointment of Lal Peiris would be revoked if it was proved he was involved in any misdeed and as such not suitable to be a JP.
Meanwhile the PNB officer said according to the fax message received from India, Lal Peiris was definitely not suitable to hold a JP`s post.
'Though he is in the PNB drug traffickers` list, he could not be convicted due various reasons. One of which was due to some police officers being in the payroll of these culprits', the senior PNB officer said.

A 'JP' involved in an international drug affair??? Impossible!!
Its a very strange job for a JP!!
On the other hand the wanni butchers send drugs to Colombo.
Luckily the Police could intercept the huge consignment of the tiger murderers lucrative business to raise money to buy arms and to do huge scale terror activities in Sri Lanka.
Are there other 'JPs' doing side line drug or any other illicit businesses in Sri Lanka?
These people who should give examples to the common man, lead, luxury lives with
KU(n)DU MONEY!
Strange country!!!
Send him immediately to India to spend the rest of his life there........

| This idiot Mervyn Silva's son Malaka also gets involved into drug bussiness with Kudu Lal. That bastard attacked people from PNB recently in Colombo night club. Biggest culprit is that lady CBK who appointed this idiot Mervyn Silva as MP and gave him minister post. May be it is same chain of bussiness. Who knows CBK also get some profit from Kudu Lal's drug bussinesses. |

This Lal Peiris was given a Gun Licence during last UNP government.
To get a gun licence, one has to go through even thougher procedure than to become a JP. How was that done.
Don't forget that Mervin Silva was once in UNP too. |

There's a reason why Mervyn left the UNP, got down on his knees and worshiped Chandrika -- REGRESSION TO THE MEAN.
Mervyn was the outlier in the UNP.
This joker, claiming to be a descendant of Dutugemunu, is trying to make a the entire body of law abiding citizens of the country, and the judiciary & police and complete joke.
Kudu Lal & Mervyn should both be packed to India, to be jailed. |

| Oopse, OOpse, Oopse! You sound very upset with Ranil. What eve the UNP did, admit it, they are the only people who took the country forward...whereever it is today. Look what MR is doing as PM. After failing to transfer the Hambantota funds to his brothers account in US, he trying different things now, like getting his bro to be the consultant, huh! He knows his days are numbered. So he is getting all his brothers, nephews and the entire clan down from US to join the fun and take away the grabs before Nov 17th, because he is sure to lose. Some politics! |
