There is no news at all about four and a half year old Pamara Keshali Bandara Wijekoon from Pannawa area in Nikadalupotha, Kurunegala who was abducted while sleeping cuddled to her brother.
The police have confirmed that there is no probability of someone demanding a ransom where this kidnapping is concerned.

The exorcist who is a resident of Gampola is a person who has children of marriageable age. This person who is so fond of children has being of the habit of coming frequently to Keshali's house for the purpose of paying them courtesy visits. It is revealed that there had been occasions when he had come and fed and bathed Keshali, her brother and sister.
Though the police had interrogated the suspect-exorcist at length, it had not been possible to extract any significant information about abducted Keshali.
The exorcist who was taken into police custody had even performed a light-reading at Wellawa Police and had remarked that one fair-skinned woman is keeping the toddler in her custody. However, the police say that nothing of what he said could be believed.
The police have also mentioned that the girl's father had been in the Army for sometime and had afterwards resigned on his own. This couple had been living on the income of selling sweetmeat to shops and there is no information to say that they had any enemies as such.
