A special police team arrested a policeman who is said to have had close dealings with the LTTE suspect Jadheesan Balasubramaniam who was arrested on in connection with the bomb blast on the railway line at Dehiwala last week.

The policeman attached to the Wellawatte Police Station is a resident of Kobeigane, in Kurunegala and had very close connections with the LTTE suspect Jadheesan Balasubramaniam, who was arrested by the police at the Irattaperiyakulam in a bus bound for Vavunia last week, Police Headquarters sources said yesterday (9).

The policeman had met Jadheesan very often used his motorcycle.

It has also been revealed that the policeman had visited Bangkok with a friend some weeks back and the police are investigating his movements to ascertain whether his overseas tour had anything to do with terrorist activities.

The special police team questioning the constable at length believes that valuable information could be gathered from the suspect about the activities of the LTTE suspect Jadheesan, who was working as a technician for an air condition equipment company while living at Wattala with his wife, who, too, was arrested.

Police also said that they were also investigating the background of the policeman and whether he had any connections with other covert LTTE operatives in the south.

Please get some advice from the US regarding the democratic way of water boarding otherwise you will be condemned for human rights violations. When you have extracted the info then send him to Guantanamo for rehabilitation and gentle torture once that is done he can be sent to trial in the republic of Guantanamo they have their own justice system,if found not guilty they will be kept locked up for life now thats justice for you.

Being a Tamil in Sri Lanka itself is a crime in the eyes of the military and police. The police force in Sri Lanka is 99% Sinhalese and ways must be found to weed out the remaining few Muslim and Tamil policemen.

Yes because LTTE killed most of the Tamil and Muslim police in the north. Still it is not 99% I am surprised.

Sitamus :

Gamaya72 has given the other reason......

Saliya : Those policemen who have sworn in also do a hell of a good job under trying conditions..
They will weed out the square pegs.......

Two intelligence cops nabbed for bribery
Daily Mirror 11 06 08


Two policemen attached to the Terrorist Investigation Unit and the Intelligence Branch of the Keselwatta police station were arrested by the Bribery Commission for soliciting Rs.100, 000 from a trishaw driver.


This is why it has been so hard for us to win this war and has been dragged for so long, these guys do it in a small scale and the politicians do it in a larger scale. And at the end of the day the poor soldiers and there family s pay the price for nothing. The majority should wake up and stop being traitors
