Minister Faizer's nephew who was arrested as IS ... released on bail

The 25 year old Sri Lankan student named Mohammed Nizamdeen who was studying Business Analysis at New South Wales University in Australia under his visa was taken into custody by police last August 30th after securing information that he was maintaining relationships with the ISIS Organisation.

Police said that there were allegations that he had possessed documents relating to plans to assassinate Australia's Malcolm Turnbull and former prime minister Julie Bishop and former foreign

affairs minister and also to explode bombs at various points in the town of Sydney and in the vicinity of universities. Accordingly, he was taken into custody and what was published in the media of that country was that he hailed from a family with political connections and belonging to the elite class.

Australian media had revealed that his uncle is Faizer Mustapha, Sri Lanka's provincial council and Sports Minister  while his grandfather was former chairman of Bank of Ceylon, the Late Jehan Kameer Casim. The suspect was bailed out last month because of a doubt relating to handwriting concerning notes that contributed him being taken into custody. 

What attorney-at-law Mustafa Keer who appeared on behalf of Mohammed Nizamdeen said was that those notes were not the suspect's. It was confirmed by investigations of handwriting experts that handwriting in the note book does not at tally with Mohammed Nizamdeen's handwriting. This was mentioned when court proceedings commenced yesterday (19). Under these conditions Mohammed Kameer Nizamdeen was exempted from those allegations and acquitted.

There were several strategies lined up in the note book computer in the suspect's possession at the time he was arrested and on scrutiny there were plans envisaged to explode bombs, police revealed. Whatever it is, if those notes were not of Mohammed Nizamdeen's; then whose are those? -- courts have notified police. 

Attorney-at-law Mustafa Keer who appeared on behalf of Nizamdeen said that on grounds that an attempt is being made to involve his client in an unnecessary blunder and therefore he would take action against court and hopes to charge lawyer-fees from the state in that respect. The suspect has registered himself for a doctorate at New South Wales University in Australia and is presently engaged in studies there and is also engaged in a project relating to Business Information Technology from the year 2016 which he continues as a vocation.
