That is under the wings of the state. Everyone knows who the godfather is. The pseudo-democratic processes cannot touch this Mafia which is actually operating island wide. All the shouting in the parliament is just for the consumption of the insensitive public.

Recently the governer was reported to have admitted that the temple priest and his two sons had been shot by guns obtained from the army.
But there the matter ended – no investigation as to how civilians obtained guns from the army to commit crimes.
Only a few of those arrested were reported to have been produced before a magistrate and remanded, but released soon on bail and this appears to be the end of the matter.
All this appears to support the contention that the police and armed forces turn a blind eye to the crimes perpetrated by paramilitaries, as they are members of a group from a political party which supports the government.

As a result of investigation should that be case the leader of EPDP and his cronies have to be brought to book. It will do well for Sumenthiran MP to bring forward the issue of LTTE at its last stand in the war have kept human shields of Tamils. All things being equal, there might be found that the war crimes have been committed by both parties.
