The government said that there is no secret police operating in Sri Lanka as claimed by some sections.

In an interview with an Australian newsagency Sri Lankan High Commission in Australia, Thisara Samarasinghe said "there's a police force and other elements of the police force which conduct criminal investigations."

Speaking on the alleged abduction of the JVP dissident leader Kumar Gunaratnam, Samarasinghe said that he has not been detained by Sri Lankan authorities. He has never been arrested nor taken away by anybody from the Government, Samarasinghe added.

If people are abducted like this without knowing the government it means there is no proper rules and administration system in the country. Why gov is silent and does not catch the people who are doing these abductions it proves the incapability of the government.

Whoever do this,They still live in 19th century...and don't want to accept the freedom, self respect and peoples rights to believe or act on what they believe.
We'll see abductions everyday here and if government not behind these then it is their responsibility to catch whoever behind these ghost activities.
Wake up this is 21st century and you can't hide anything...every thing is going to be shared in seconds....

Police secret or not will take a suspect and bring him to court if thought guilty. In Sri Lanka we don't have such police. We only have men coming in white vans. What would you call them? Secret Army men?
