Signs of Dr. Shafi's story turning in a different direction
The story about Dr. Shafi Sahabdeen of Kurunegala hospital to whom allegations are targeted that he has sterilised thousands of Sinhala mothers is now ta police chief making a different turn, it appears. It is because of a revelation made by a police chief of Kurunegala in the presence of the CID who in fact has launched the first step in this phenomenon.
As reported, the doctor involved and a Sinhala trading organisation had competed and tried to
purchase a building down Wewa Road, Kurunegala after which the doctor has bought it for a sum of 13 crores. Having been provoked over this issue and having placed in difficulties as a result, support was warranted from the said police chief. In this connection the doctor was taken into custody under charges that the doctor has earned his assets by unlawful means all the while knowing that it is definitely not the business of the police as such. It is reported that this said police chief has described how a particular group of a certain political party has brought this issue into a state where it seriously affects society and how professors and hospital big heads were made puppets in this situation.
