Security of Borella Cemetery where businessman Dinesh Schaffter was found tied in his car is being handled by Rakna Lanka, an official from Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) said today.

“We have outsourced the security to Rakna Lanka in 2021. As per the agreement only hearse which carry remains of dead persons are allowed to come into the cemetery while vehicles of mourners have been asked to stop at car parks.

The allegation which was made by a member of CMC that there was no cemetery keeper was denied by this officer. “There is an acting Cemetery keeper as the earlier keeper was interdicted,” he said.

There is a key security officer who is also an ex army officer,” he added.

“The job of the Cemetery keeper is being carried out by laborers and no wonder people have chosen the cemetery a place to murder their enemies,” the CMC member said.(Yohan Perera)

Every where you can notice lapses, an army or police sentry is ideal to prevent crimes of this nature.

Whenever the name Rakna Lanka is in the picture, the situation gets complicated. All criminal activities are committed by these employees of Rakna Lanka and Avant Guard outfits.
