State Intelligence chief gives 4-hour statement to PSC in secret

State Intelligence Service (SIS) chief Senior DIG Nilantha Jayawarden has reportedly given a 4-hour long statement to the Parliamentary Select Committee probing the Easter Sunday attacks, at a separate undisclosed location last night.

 

Deputy Speaker Ananda Kumarasiri stated that the special select committee recorded evidence until around 11.30 p.m. last night (24).

 

However, he said the proceeding was not open to the media and that the recording of evidence was carried out at a secret location, which was also not disclosed.
