Is Gnanasara’s arrest Prevented by IGP ?
The General Secretary of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara and a team were behind the attack targeting a mosque in Kurunegala on May 20th.
When the Police and the STF team led by Superintendent of Police Priyantha Liyanage intercepted him nearby the Badagamuwa thicket in Kurunegala and went to arrest Gnanasara and others, IGP Pujitha Jayasundara reported to have ordered the officers not to arrest him.
Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara will face a legal case on May 24th at the Court of Appeal against an alleged contempt of court. He is well aware of the highly possible final result of the case which has currently led him to create incidents that would give rise to empathetic feelings among the public towards him.
