Former CID Director Shani Abeysekara has filed a Fundamental Rights petition in Supreme Court seeking an order preventing the CID from arresting him in respect of the allegations mentioned at the Kuliyapitiya Magistrate's Court.

Former CID Director also seeking an order restraining President Gotabaya
Rajapakse from issuing a detention order in terms of section 9(1) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) in his capacity as the Minister of Defence in respect of the allegations set out in a B-Repor at Kuliyapitiya Magistrate's Court.
Shani Abaysekara said he became aware that on February 10, 2022 , a B report has been filed by Chief Inspector Lalitha Dissanayake alleging that as a result of the serious omissions made by the Petitioner paved the way to the Easter Sunday Attack.

Abeysekara further said the respondents are attempting to falsely implicate him by launching a biased, illegal and unreasonable investigation based on a false and belated anonymous petition alleging that he was derelict in his duties during the investigations of NTJ and Saharan.

The petitioner said the respondents are seeking to have him arrested and detained under the PTA or remanded in mala fide.

The Petitioner states that respondents ASP Meril Ranjan Lamahewa, Chief Inspector Niroshini Hewapathirana and Chief Inspector Induka Silva being the supervising officer and the inquiring officers respectively have an animosity towards the petitioner since Petitioner has taken several disciplinary actions against them while he was in service.

The Petitioner states that therefore these respondents are disqualified to
hold any inquiry against the petitioner on the anonymous petition.

This petition had been filed through Attorney-at-law Manjula Balasooriya. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

Was the release of Pujith and Hemasiri also part of the strategy to nail Shani?

Where are you living in? GOD - never heard of this person. Read John 1:18 - it says "No one has seen god at any given time"

This FR application talks specifically about a military intelligence operative named sonic sonic and their advance knowledge about the terrorists and info withheld from CID after the attacks. This article doesn’t mention that.

No one has seen God continues to say to look at son Jesus in order to see God in flesh
