In a truly democratic country like the UK or Germany, no one has to accept the "invitation" of the police, whether the accused or the witness. Even if the police make a “home visit,” you don’t have to let them into the house. (Otherwise, the police must have a judicial search warrant for an accused unless there is imminent danger.) Even if the police have managed to convince a judge for a major crime to issue an arrest warrant and take the alleged perpetrator into prison, he does not need to make a statement to the police. Everyone is only obliged to follow a judge's summons and testify. This can be enforced with compulsory detention. A witness must always testify, but an accused person has the right to remain silent, which, according to the law, may not be construed to be detrimental to him. Such rules ensure that police investigators work correctly, that statements are not forced through violence or blackmail, or that people are not persuaded to give false statements.

So, if you are a Minister, you don't have to go to CID. They come to you.

Why should he not be invited to the Police station to record his statement like any other developed country. Do these VIP walk with four legs and three hands? Especially when it is forgone conclusion that this is the culprit responsible for the deaths of innocent public?

When People elect Super, Dapper Mee Harak's to represent their affairs in Parliament to boot with 2/3rd majority what else would you expect!!!??? Add to that with Political Parties in government, then appointing highest number of preference votes as criteria for Cabinet Minister ship and NOT MERIT, Erudition, Experience and Ability as Criteria, They "Rule the Roost"!!!??? So "CID has to go on all Fours to their DEN to meet the Four legged and 3 handed variety!!!!??? 3rd hand is exclusively STEALING – the individual experiences no realisation of STEALING or IMPROPRIETRY BUT EXPERIENCES VERY GOOD VIBES denies wrongdoings, ‘NIL ACCOUNTABILITY’!!!??? Therefore claims, has done any wrong, ‘SEEN OR HEARD’ wrongdoings!!?? Accepts, recouping election 2020 expenditure - Rs 5000, ¼ Bottle Gal, “PIN ADI” Election Biryani!!!??? Pin Siddha Wewa, Social Kindred Sous Chef!!!???

In a case involving stolen property, both the seller and the buyer are liable to be prosecuted with seller facing the weighted charge of “ knowingly committing the crime” and the buyer on a lesser charge of “negligence”. Similarly but in a more serious crime of “ transfer of substandard medicine “ here it was the Indians who sold the lethal medicine, hence if the CID fails to investigate the Indians and only focus on the “Sri Lankan buyers” then this whole probe becomes null and void; a classic game of total charade.

Visiting Keheliya at home to record statement is no good. It shows the lack of commitment and favouritism.

Ram Tuesday, 26 December 2023 02:52 PM
Is Keheliya such an important person to give preferential treatment that is not available to us. Acting IG what are your views on this matter?

Ram Tuesday, 26 December 2023 02:54 PM
Is a questionable acting IG is kept at the top to do this dirty work of directing his officers to visit people suspected of crime to record statements at their residences?

It’s disgusting to see how law enforcement authority behaves , if it is some other person he will be asked to come to the cid here since these people are above law law enforcement authority goes to their house. What a disgrace.

They should not try to hide the evidence under the carpet. There is enough evidence to arrest him. Everyone is equal under the law. This guy is a racketeer and deal-maker for his own benefit. Investigators must find out why he has visited Indian pharmaceutical companies to negotiate when there are many officials there.

Calm down guys! CID has changed the procedure. From now onwards, they will visit houses to record statements from all suspects.

Anybody's guess Wednesday, 27 December 2023 12:34 PM
It's only a statement made by police for public knowledge. If a visit actually took place or will ever take place is anybody's guess.

This is why, no one is hounest to make a change to this system, like today I saw a video, if you have the determination, yes I will put right this economy within one year, if your hounest, that without any wrong doings, and if you have the proper market plan of how to do it, you can do it, BUT, with this type of things happening, I don't think even the year 3000, this country will remain the same.

Visiting a suspect's residence is different from taking him to the 4th Floor of CID and questioning him. This is a drama staged to mislead the public.

Knew from the start when Keheliya made the first visit to India to procure drugs, that he was up to no good. The cabinet gave him their blessings. What do they have to say now? Of course, "Me yakka apiva Kaawa nam meeta hondai"
