Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekara today denied reports that he ordered the bus transporting 14 persons including model Piumi Hansamali who had attended a party at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo to return when it was travelling to a quarantine centre in Passara.
In a statement, the ministry said that an Attorney-at-Law has called Minister Sarath Weerasekera on June 2 and told him that his clients were being taken to a quarantine center in Badulla and that they did not even have basic necessities.
The Ministry said model Piumi Hansamali has also called the minister and informed him that she and a group of others were being taken to Badulla for quarantine in the clothes they were wearing.
Thereafter Chandimal Jayasinghe also telephoned and had made an appeal.
Then, the minister has informed the IGP and the Senior DIG in charge of the Western Province to take them to the Talangama Police Station and to bring the welfare items including clothes as per their request while they were in the bus.
The Ministry said that Minister Weerasekara had not given any instructions not to quarantine those who are to be quarantined.(DSB)

Is that a favor that was granted, because they have access to the Internal Security Minister ? If it is not the case, that means Police had mishandled the situation, and Minister has intervened to rectify the Police action. Which one is correct ?

Will Citizen Silva be able to go to Kandy Police Station (Citizen Silva lives in Kandy) before being sent to a quarantine centre in Galle, having been arrested in Colombo? Over to you Mr. Pussa.

Innocent until proved guilty. I proved in the negative, watch out for a place to hide.

Isn't it humane of the Minister to help such a model? Sad part is, can anyone else also get the same or do they have to display themselves like the model.

Is the facility to get Prison Buses diverted from official rule, available to all of us ? What number should we call ?

You did not say not to quarantine them but you did ask the bus to turn around so they could get their basic clothing.
sujata Saturday, 05 June 2021 10:07 AM
so the police did not know that these people in custody have a basic human right of getting their clothes packed for quarantine
