Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon said that a special committee has been appointed to determine whether any individuals linked to the ISIS terrorist organization are present in the country.
IGP Tennakoon stated that an immediate investigation is underway in this regard. Speaking to the media in Kaduwela today (26), he said, "A new committee has been appointed, including officials from the Terrorism Investigation Division, Intelligence Unit, and the Special Task Force, under the supervision of the Deputy Inspector General of the Criminal Investigation Department, to investigate this matter."
He added, "I discuss the daily progress with the committee and provide them with the necessary instructions. The investigation has been successful so far. We will inform you about the progress in the future."
When asked by a journalist if there are reports that the four Sri Lankans recently arrested in Gujarat, India, were involved in the Easter attacks, the IGP emphasized that the legal division of Sri Lanka Police has been instructed to carefully review the commission report and provide details.
"I will receive the details about that matter tomorrow. We will look into it, as we currently have no reports to confirm it," he added.
