"I initially sensed about Zaharan -- don't know what happened during my remand period": Nalaka Silva

"I initially sensed about Zaharan -- don't know what happened during my remand period": Nalaka Silva

Deputy inspector general of police, Nalaka Silva who was continuously remanded during the past because of an assassination conspiracy was someone who was able to secure a 

 warrant from court to capture Zaharan Hasheem with regard to his terrorist activities during the period 2018. 

Mr. Nalaka Silva was released on bail last 21st and gave evidence in presence of parliament special
select committee regarding Easter attack. On that occasion what he said was that though security forces were involved in search of the L.T.T.E. no investigations were launched about Islam extremists till 2018. 

He said he felt something fishy about Zaharan and forwarded all detailed reports in that connection to inspector general of police but does not know what happened thereafter. He mentioned that Zaharan had clearly promoted Muslim extremist activities across his facebook and websites and that he had exchanged ISIS matters. If Zaharan was taken into custody, these incidents would have been prevented before all this happened. He finally mentioned that the leadership he provided for investigations in connection with Muslim extremists during the period  he was imprisoned then escaped his grip and as a result he was not aware of what action took place  in that respect.
