UPDATE (10.10 am): Former DIG Nalaka de Silva has arrived at the CID to give a statement on the inquiry into alleged assassination plot on President and former Defense Secretary.
Former DIG Nalaka de Silva, who was in charge of the TID, has been informed to appear before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) again this morning (18) at 9.00 am.
Former DIG Nalaka de Silva was ordered to appear before the CID on October 16, however, owing to a personal reason he has failed to comply with the instructions of the CID.
Deputy Minister of Public Administration and Management and Law & Order says that the investigations regarding DIG Nalaka de Silva will be carried out impartially.
DIG Nalaka de Silva, former Director of the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID), is currently under investigation in connection with an alleged conspiracy to assassinate the President and the former Defense Secretary.
Director (Operations) of Anti-Corruption Movement, Namal Kumara, had last month uncovered information of the conspiracy and the alleged conversations that he had with former DIG Nalaka de Silva regarding the matter and other controversial topics.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) subsequently commenced investigations regarding the alleged conspiracy and has recorded statements from both Namal Kumara and the former DIG on multiple occasions.
