Topic of the moment is security and its major subsection public security and the country’s security. The police admitted it had lapsed in the tightness of its security when drug kingpin Ganemulla Sanjeeva was shot point blank in the dock at the Colombo Magistrate’s Court. The police however were very speedy in the apprehension of the shooter and several accomplices.
The crime was meticulously planned and carried out with a gun smuggled into the court in a hollowed-out book. The murder of a lawbreaker as he rode his motorbike with two of his children was another episode in the recent spate of druggies battling it out among themselves and hiring gunmen to do the dirty. Sympathy is all for those two innocent kids who died in the attack.
Then Yukthiya, now competent sleuthing and hard work Cassandra’s take on this recent heightened gang violence is that the big sharks were apprehended by the police or are about to be and so they, suspecting co-drug gangsters of ratting to law enforcement officers, engage in their killing sprees. And, here is a significant theory of hers: the police and CID are actually doing what they are supposed to do: catch wrongdoers, with no interference from politicians, the new government being such. Remembered well is project Yukthiya, announced with fanfare by the Minister of Security in Ranil W’s SLPP government – Tiran Alles; seconded by acting IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon, that the drug menace in Sri Lanka would be wiped out.
We expected at leas.
