Petition filed before Appeals Court seeking to ensure Harak Kata’s safety

 

A writ application has been filed before the Court of Appeal seeking to ensure the safety of the drug kingpin and criminal figure Nadun Chinthaka Wickremeratne alias “Harak Kata”, who was arrested in Madagascar and repatriated to Sri Lanka by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) last morning.

The relevant writ petition has been filed by Nelson Mervin Wickremeratne, the father of “Harak Kata”, requesting the Appellate Court to immediately issue an order to the respondents to ensure his son’s safety, who is currently detained by the CID.

Meanwhile, the mother of Salindu Malshika Gunaratna alias “Kudu Salindu” had lodged the writ application before the Appeals Court yesterday, raising concerns about potential threats to her son’s life and seeking an interim order instructing the CID to ensure his safety.
