Sri Lanka not to divulge information on the Scotland Yard detectives investigating Tamil MP's killing


Jan 06, Colombo: The British Metropolitan Police and Sri Lanka government have agreed not to divulge information on the personnel and actions by the Scotland Yard team now in Colombo to investigate the assassination of Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian Nadaraja Raviraj.

The rational for the policy is said to be the sensitivity of the investigation. The Tamil MP who was popular among all ethnic communities in Sri Lanka was gunned down with his body guard by unknown gunmen in broad daylight in the Colombo city last November.

The four-member Scotland Yard team comprising a forensic expert as well has commenced their investigation now. They have imported several high tech instruments to be utilized in the investigation. The team has scheduled to stay around two weeks in the Island. City Bank Card, Chase low rate loan, American Express
