Major General (Retired) Suresh Sallay, the former Director of the State Intelligence Service (SIS), has ended his hunger strike following advice and representations made by his legal counsel.

Sallay, who is currently being held in detention in connection with ongoing investigations into the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks, decided to call off the protest after consulting with his lawyers.

No further details have been officially released regarding the duration of the hunger strike or any changes to his legal status. Investigations into the Easter Sunday attacks remain ongoing, with authorities continuing to examine matters related to the case.
