Colombo, Sri Lanka – The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has opened a new line of inquiry following an explosive interview aired by British Channel 4, which revisits the tragic Easter Sunday attack of 2019 in Sri Lanka. The documentary featured statements from Azad Hansir Maulana, a former spokesperson for the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) party, raising new allegations and insights into the circumstances and potential conspiracies surrounding the attack.
As part of the investigation, the CID has summoned former State Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan, widely known as Pillaiyan, to appear for questioning. Pillaiyan’s appearance at the CID headquarters is anticipated this morning as authorities probe the controversial details presented in the documentary, including potential connections and underlying motives related to the 2019 Easter Sunday attack.
The documentary has sparked intense scrutiny and renewed public interest in understanding the full scope of the Easter attack, with the police headquarters initiating an investigation based on a complaint forwarded by an external organization to the Ministry of Public Security. The CID reported developments related to this inquiry to the Fort Magistrate Court on November 11, signaling a significant advancement in the case.
Authorities are carefully examining the statements made in the documentary, as well as any implicated parties and alleged conspiracies. This investigation seeks to verify the documentary’s claims, ensure justice for the victims, and address public concerns regarding the tragic events of 2019.
