Prabodha Kumara alias 'Kadira', who was the main sniper of underworld figure and drug trafficker 'Harak Kata', was arrested by the STF in Boralesgamuwa last night.

The STF said the 27-year-old suspect, a resident of Weligama was lodging at an inn in Boralasgamuwa laying a trap to execute a crime under the instructions of Harak Kata.

It was revealed that the suspect was wanted over the attempted murder of an individual known as 'Chuti Mama' in Weligama whom he shot at on April 5 this year and another shooting incident on May 14 where Roshan alias 'Jaka' was injured.

STF said both the shooting incidents were carried out as contractual crime and was guided by Harak Kata.

This suspect is also wanted for a number of sexual abuses and robberies. The STF also recovered three type-8 firearms used for the shooting, three bullets and 17 grams of heroin.

We hope he will not be taken on a midnight trip to " discover hidden arms "

Should be done by police Tuesday, 16 August 2022 05:33 PM

STF looking for attention about their efforts. This should be done by police. In any other country police do this. No need for any military for this civilian matter. And very few countries have a military our size relative to the population. STF while our country wants money from IMF you should be worried for your size. You are over sized by 10 times. Doing the police work will not save you from having to shed your big sized burden on the public purse
