The Hulftsdorp Magistrate’s Court has ordered that the underworld figure ‘Tinker’ be detained for 24 hours from 02 October 2025 to 03rd October 2025, based on a request made by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD).
Sri Lankan national Sridharan Niranjan, also known as ‘Tinker’, was deported from Dubai and brought to Sri Lanka yesterday (01), after which he was handed over to the CCD for further investigations.
Interrogations of the suspect had revealed that he was involved in the shooting incident in Gnanarathana Mawatha, Peliyagoda, in August 2025, in which one person was killed and another was injured.
Based on the revelation, the CCD decided that 24 hours was insufficient to interrogate the suspect and sought a court order to extend his detention until 03rd October, for another 24 hours.
Based on the court order issued enabling the detention, the suspect is to remain in the custody of the CCD until 03rd October, for further interrogations. (Newswire)
