During the discussion led by Public Security Ministry Secretary Ravi Seneviratne, the focus was on expediting investigations into several controversial criminal cases that had faced delays. The Acting Inspector General of Police emphasized the need to prioritize these investigations, urging officials to identify the reasons for the delays and address them promptly.
One of the key cases highlighted was the Easter Sunday attacks, which have remained a source of national concern due to the slow pace of the investigation and the need for accountability. The directive calls for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to re-engage with these high-profile cases, with the goal of delivering justice and providing closure to the public.
This move comes amidst growing public frustration over unresolved criminal investigations that have dragged on for years. The resumption of these investigations signals a renewed commitment by the authorities to resolve pending cases, uphold the law, and ensure that those responsible for serious crimes are held accountable. The Ministry has also indicated that regular updates on the progress of these investigations will be provided to the public.
