CID team to bring Harak Kata, Salindu from Madagascar

The special police team consisting of the officers of the Criminal Investigation Department and the Police Special Task Force who left for Madagascar on Saturday (11) are scheduled to return to Sri Lanka today (13) or tomorrow (14) with underworld drug racketeers Harak Kata and Kudu Salindu, who were arrested by Madagascar authorities recently.

The four-member police team consists of two Assistant Superintendents of Police representing the Criminal Investigation Department and the Police Special Task Force.The other two officers are Chief Inspectors of the Criminal Investigation Department and the Police Special Task Force. The Special Task Force team are officers representing a special team of the Special Task Force that conducts investigations into underworld criminals.

This group was supposed to include an officer of the State Intelligence Service. But at the last moment he was not included in this journey.

This group, which is currently in Madagascar, will bring the two criminals to Sri Lanka after reaching an understanding with the relevant airline. Prior to this, the airlines had announced the conditions that three security officers were required for one criminal. After a long discussion in this regard, one airline has finally agreed to deploy two security guards for each criminal and bring these criminals to Sri Lanka.

It was by an African airline. According to the police information, it has been possible to bring these two criminals to Sri Lanka on the same plane. Police authorities have now decided to conduct a lengthy investigation by obtaining a detention order after bringing these two criminals to Sri Lanka. This is due to the information that they have been engaged in arms deals with terrorist organizations while being involved in drug trafficking.

Accordingly, both of them will be detained in the Criminal Investigation Department and investigations will be conducted.

Police information stated that there have been proposals from various quarters to investigate these two criminals outside the Criminal Investigation Department under the supervision of a Deputy Inspector General of Police. Police sources said that the Inspector General of Police has not taken a final decision in this regard.
