Notorious underworld figure ‘Kimbula Ela Guna’ arrested in India

Large-scale drug trafficker and notorious underworld figure ‘Kimbula Ela Guna’ has been arrested in Chennai, India, says Minister of Public Security Sarath Weerasekara.

Speaking further on the matter, he said the son of ‘Kimbula Ela Guna’ and an underworld gunman under the alias ‘Bumma’ were also taken into custody.

The arrest has been in an operation jointly carried out by Interpol, Indian Police and local investigators after obtaining a Red Notice on the suspects.

Intelligence officers had uncovered that Siththaiya Gunasekaram alias ‘Kimbula Ela Guna’ had fled to India as investigations were launched to arrest him in connection with the suicide bomb attack at a public meeting that injured former President Chandrika Kumaratunga on the 18th of December 1999.

Minister Weerasekara said steps will be taken to apprehend local drug traffickers and underworld figures who are operating their rackets from foreign countries.
