The unverified narrative surrounding Hanzeer Azad Maulana, the controversial whistleblower behind the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter Sunday bombings, has taken a cinematic turn following explosive claims originating from a Sri Lankan expatriate living in Switzerland. The developing account, which alleges a massive multi-million-dollar deal involving foreign intelligence agencies and international billionaires, has ignited intense debate over the validity of Maulana’s previous disclosures and his true motivations for fleeing Sri Lanka.
According to a detailed report published by the Sri Lanka Guardian, the latest allegations stem entirely from the personal testimony of Mohamed Haris, a Sri Lankan national residing in Switzerland. Haris claims he was directly involved in facilitating logistics and providing personal assistance to Maulana immediately after the former political aide arrived in Europe in 2022 seeking political asylum. It was during this period of close contact that Haris claims to have witnessed the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of a highly sensitive, international documents trade.
At the center of the controversy is a bag of highly classified documents that Maulana allegedly smuggled out of Sri Lanka. Haris claims these files contained deeply sensitive state secrets, intelligence briefs, and internal communications regarding the high-level complicity surrounding the 2019 Easter Sunday terrorist attacks, which claimed over two hundred and sixty lives. The report indicates that the initial interest in these documents came from legal and security representatives acting on behalf of a Danish billionaire who had tragically lost family members in the hotel bombings. Haris asserts that an initial offer of 15 million dollars was put on the table by the Danish representatives to secure the evidence for private or legal investigations.
However, the narrative shifts dramatically with the alleged intervention of regional intelligence actors. Haris claims that India’s external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing, entered the negotiations, ultimately leading to a massive 34 million dollar settlement in exchange for the files. The funds were reportedly transferred to a secure bank account located in Dubai, away from the immediate scrutiny of European banking regulators.
The story culminates in an alleged high-stakes interception on European soil. Haris claims that following the completion of the financial transaction, an operative network attempted to quietly extract Maulana from Switzerland using a private aircraft bound for Italy. Suspecting foul play or a potential threat to Maulana’s safety, Haris states he took the initiative to contact the Swiss federal police. According to his account, Swiss law enforcement authorities acted swiftly on the tip, intercepting the extraction attempt at the airfield and subsequently placing Maulana into a secure state protection program, where he reportedly remains.
Despite the highly specific details provided in the report, independent security analysts and regional journalists urge extreme caution. The Sri Lanka Guardian explicitly noted that the entire narrative relies solely on the unconfirmed statements of Mohamed Haris. To date, there has been no official confirmation, judicial filing, or independent intelligence tracking from Swiss, Indian, or Sri Lankan authorities to substantiate the existence of the Dubai bank transfer, the private jet interception, or the 34 million dollar transaction. Observers note that Maulana has faced a consistent campaign of character assassination from political opponents in Colombo ever since he accused top Sri Lankan officials of orchestrating the 2019 bombings to influence the subsequent presidential election, making it difficult to separate genuine intelligence revelations from coordinated disinformation.
