Sri Lanka’s most feared underworld figure, Nadun Chinthaka Wickremeratne, known as Harak Kata, shocked reporters today with a defiant claim of freedom as he left the Colombo Court Complex under heavy police escort.
Nadun Chinthaka Wickremeratne, better known by his underworld alias Harak Kata, made a bold statement to the media following a court hearing in Colombo. “I am a free boy now,” he declared, sparking fresh debate over Sri Lanka’s battle against organised crime.
Harak Kata, long considered one of the country’s most notorious gang leaders, was seen being escorted by police officers outside the Colombo Court Complex. His remarks come at a time when law enforcement agencies are under intense scrutiny for their handling of high-profile criminal cases.
The comment has already ignited a storm across social media, with critics questioning whether the justice system has the resolve to dismantle powerful underworld networks that continue to operate in the country.
