In a recent operation in Lunuwila, Wennappuwa police discovered a Defender vehicle suspected to be linked to late former MP Sanath Nishantha, reportedly hidden among a cache of vehicles with unclear ownership. The police were acting on a tip-off suggesting that multiple vehicles connected to Nishantha were stored in the area. The Defender, lacking registration plates and official documentation, raised suspicions about its origins and ownership.
Authorities detained two individuals found with the vehicle, which has intensified concerns over alleged stolen property linked to political figures. Law enforcement officials are now investigating the vehicle’s history, seeking to understand if it was illegally acquired and how it ended up in possession of people associated with the late MP.
The discovery adds a new layer to ongoing discussions around accountability and transparency concerning public officials’ assets. Further developments are anticipated as investigations continue, potentially unveiling more details surrounding the vehicle’s origin and other assets associated with political figures in the region.
