Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekara said he has instructed the police to expose details of those accused of heinous crimes such as child abuses, rapes and senseless assaults on people to the public while instituting legal action against them.

Addressing the media regarding the physical assault on a person , he said the perpetrators were identified after examining the CCTV footages. He said the details of those wrongdoers would be released to the public.

“Hereafter, those involved serious criminal acts will be exposed to the public through the media while legal action is in progress against them. It will then serve as a deterrent against crimes,” he said.

The Minister said people are requested to submit details about such crimes and the perpetrators.(Kelum Bandara)

    How about the names of criminals in in parliament.

    Asanka Sunday, 13 December 2020 09:29 PM

    It is a pity you can not film the crimes of the Rajapaksa's on CCTV

    Leather Bag Sunday, 13 December 2020 09:47 PM

    It won’t be released to the public because majority in that list will be politicians.

    Samson Sunday, 13 December 2020 09:52 PM

    Start from those 225.

    It's a good idea but the snag is being accused and convicted are two different things. For example the accused could be acquitted but the publicity surrounding his name may remain a slur

    Start from top, not down. This way can see your real ability.

    What about Lasantha's Thajudeen's and Ekneligoda's Murders?

    Seg Monday, 14 December 2020 08:58 AM

    we already know it, it was on the ballot paper

    jimbo Monday, 14 December 2020 09:11 AM

    First get Arujna Mahendran. Then go to Diyawanna Oya to find the biggest criminals of the land.

    malli Monday, 14 December 2020 01:14 PM

    Start with Madamulla Criminals’ details and downward.

    Where is Sri Lanka heading? Monday, 14 December 2020 02:00 PM

    Shouldn't you wait till those accused are actually convicted? Isn't a person innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?

    joshua Monday, 14 December 2020 02:59 PM

    what about the big convicted criminal from Ratnapura in parliament. If you have guts, first take action on that without talking nonsense.
