Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court today ordered to release parliamentarian Rishad Bathiudeen from a case filed against him in connection with Easter Sunday attacks.

Magistrate Thilina Gamage ordered to release Bathiudeen from the case filed under Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) following the Attorney General's advice not to proceed with the case due to insufficient evidence.

MP Rishad Bathiudeen was arrested by the CID on April 24, 2021 on charges of aiding and abetting the terrorists who carried out the series of terrorist attacks on Easter Sunday in 2019. He was detained by the CID for 111 days under the Prevention of Terrorism Prevention Act. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

The main point in this Easter bombing investigation should be to find out that “ How the Indian spies could have known of a Muslim plan in Sri Lanka to bomb the Catholic Churches”. This is almost impossible unless the Indians had established long term friendly contacts with the Muslim extremists in Sri Lanka. This is what the Indians did with the LTTE to undermine Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka will never sees the fruits of development since all the politicians are engaged in dirty internecine battle amongst themselves.

If insufficient evidence why was he arrested and remanded. Now pay compensation. It is a habit for Police to arrest people as suspect without evidence and this must stop. BASL please look into this issue

The main point in this Easter bombing investigation should be to find out that “ how the CHINESE spies knew of the “ Muslim plan in Sri Lanka to bomb the Catholic Churches” and did not inform Sri Lanka about that? Has the CHINESE established long term friendly contacts with the Muslim extremists in Sri Lanka. This is what the CHINESE do to undermine Sri Lanka, so they can sell arms, at exorbitant prices to have Sri Lanka in a debt-entrap!

gammini BS, It was not China but it was Indian Intelligence that informed Sri Lankan authorities about the Easter bombing plans by Sri Lankan Muslims. So the question remains “ how could have the Indian spies known about the Sri Lankan Muslim’s plan to bomb the churches”. By bringing in China into this affair where the involvement was India, you are proving that you are an Indian agent operating from or outside Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan Traitors like you must be hanged.
