Two retired female petty officers of the Sri Lanka Navy have been remanded until October 5 over their alleged involvement in the abduction and disappearance of two women in Trincomalee during the war.

Trincomalee Chief Magistrate M.S.M. Samsudeen ordered the two suspects to be remanded and directed that they be produced for an identification parade on October 5.

The retired officers, who are residents of Chilaw and Haputale, were arrested when they appeared before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with another court case. They were subsequently produced before the Trincomalee court.

The investigation relates to the alleged abduction of two women identified as Sasikumar Thenmoli and Mary Delsia, residents of the Paalaiyootru area in Trincomalee, on or around May 13, 2008.

According to reports, the CID has informed the court that information uncovered during investigations indicates that the two women were allegedly detained at an underground location known as “Gun Site” within the Trincomalee Naval Base while the two suspects were in active service. The women were subsequently reported missing.

The “Gun Site” is reported to have been an underground detention facility located within the Trincomalee Naval Base, which houses the Eastern Naval Command and the Sri Lanka Navy Dockyard.

The site reportedly takes its name from an old gun emplacement situated on a small hill and contains colonial-era structures, including underground cells that receive no natural light.

It has been alleged that the location was used as an unauthorised detention facility. Former Navy Commander Admiral Nishantha Ulugetenne reportedly acknowledged during a CID investigation in 2025 that the location was not a legally recognised prison.

The facility was reportedly operated by a “Special Intelligence Unit” that was separate from the official Naval Intelligence unit and was allegedly under the command of Commander D.K.P. Dassanayake.

Witnesses have also reportedly told investigators that white vans were used to transport detainees to the facility and that the vehicles were not registered at the entrance to the naval base.

Further investigations into the alleged abduction and disappearance are continuing. (Newswire)

The Ministry of Health has suspended a senior medical officer at the Trincomalee District General Hospital following revelations of negligence linked to the deaths of infants during childbirth.

According to the Independent Television network (ITN), the suspension was ordered last Friday by the Health Ministry Secretary after a preliminary investigation uncovered serious lapses in duty. 

The inquiry was launched in response to the Government Medical Officers’ Association announcing a strike on April 9, citing the tragic incident of infant deaths.

Investigators found that on April 9, at around 8.45 am, a newborn at the hospital’s maternity ward was in distress. Although a resident midwife raised the alarm, proper medical attention was not provided, and official responsibilities were neglected. 

The probe revealed that the mother’s suffering was prolonged, complications were allowed to develop, and even when patients were admitted, adequate care was not given.

Further findings showed that the doctor failed to participate in the delivery, leaving no opportunity to prevent complications. Despite the mother showing symptoms such as fever and cold, medical intervention was lacking. 

The Health Ministry noted that similar irregularities in duty had been observed in the past, and these were highlighted in a letter issued by the Secretary.

The Ministry confirmed that disciplinary steps were taken following the misconduct. 

The doctor at fault has been identified as a specialist serving as the President of the Government Medical Officers’ Association at the Trincomalee District General Hospital. (Newswire)

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri says the Trincomalee oil farm project and the India–Sri Lanka oil pipeline were discussed during Indian Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan’s visit to Sri Lanka.

Addressing the media in Colombo on Sunday (19), Misri said the planned oil hub in the northeastern port of Trincomalee was taken up in a meeting with Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

He noted that the project, which also involves the United Arab Emirates, has been under discussion since 2023. While there is no timeline yet, he described it as a strategic initiative with a significant final outlay.

“There is no further time to lose in making progress on strategic projects such as these,” Misri said, adding that both sides agreed on the need to get the project off the ground quickly. 

He remarked that had the energy hub been completed, it could have been particularly useful “at a time like this,” referring to the impact of the Middle East conflict.

Sri Lanka, India, and the UAE signed an agreement a year ago, following two years of talks, to establish a multi‑product oil pipeline connecting the two South Asian neighbours and to set up the Trincomalee oil storage complex. (Newswire/Economic Times)

Minister Ananda Wijepala has warned individuals to refrain from politicizing and creating racial or communal tensions using the recent incident in Trincomalee, involving the installation of a Buddha Statue. 

Addressing Parliament today, Minister Wijepala said that some people were attempting to create racial and communal tensions using this issue, assuring that the NPP government will never allow any citizen of this nation to face injustice.

“We will not allow anyone to create racial and communal tensions in the country. The government has already intervened in the matter and taken necessary steps, and the area is peaceful,” he added. 

Providing further information on the matter, Minister Wijepala said that a Police B report has been submitted to the Court, after which the Court had issued a notice fixing the next hearing for November 25.

“The court has also instructed that no further developments are allowed at the site until the next hearing. Following a discussion, all involved parties have consented to this,” he added.

Sri Lanka Police have issued a clarification statement regarding a video currently circulating on social media platforms, showing a commotion that occurred during the installation of a Buddha statue in Trincomalee.

According to the Police, a complaint was made to the Trincomalee Harbour Police by the Department of Coast Conservation on November 16, about an unauthorized hut being constructed within a coastal area close to the Trincomalee town to install a Buddha statue.

Following this, the Officer-in-Charge of the Trincomalee Police Division and other police officers visited the site and ordered the halt of this unauthorized construction. However, the construction activities had continued.

The Police said the Ministry of Environment had informed the Chief Incumbent of the Temple in writing in October, to halt the unauthorized construction on a land adjacent to the temple. But the construction had continued, and the Buddha statue was to be placed there in this backdrop.

The Sri Lanka Police noted that this incident has the potential to create discord among communities and is a very sensitive issue that affects all communities.

It further pointed out that, as exploiting this incident to deliberately damage the Buddha statue could lead to a complex issue that disrupts the peaceful life of the province, the Trincomalee Police took steps to remove the Buddha statue from the site for its safety and bring it to the Trincomalee Police Station.

The Police further said that while the officers were taking action to remove the unauthorized construction, a group that had gathered at the site became agitated. The Police officers at the scene had managed the situation, and no harm was caused to any religious dignitary or the public.

Furthermore, as the situation in the province is currently peaceful, and an agreement has been reached with relevant parties regarding future actions, the Buddha statue, which was taken into police custody for its safety, has been handed over to the custody of the respected Maha Sangha for its final placement.

The Police added that the relevant facts regarding this incident are scheduled to be presented to the Trincomalee Magistrate’s Court today (17). (Newswire)

The Illankai Tamil Arasu Kadchi (ITAK) has called on all Tamil members of the National Peoples’ Power (NPP), including Trincomalee MP and Deputy Foreign Minister Arun Hemachandra, to resign immediately over the government’s response in relation to the recent issue of a Buddha statue in Trincomalee. 

A tense situation was reported yesterday after a group attempted to place a Buddha statue at a Dhamma school in a temple in the area last night. The Police were deployed to contain the situation, after which the statue was removed from the site. 

Addressing the Parliament today, Minister of Public Security Ananda Wijepala said the statue was removed due to information of possible vandalism, adding that steps were taken to place the statue at the Dhamma school today, and that special police protection would be provided for its safety. 

Commenting on Minister Wijepala’s statement, ITAK General Secretary M.A. Sumanthiran said the government and Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala have given in to the undue pressures of the majoritarian forces.

“Last night, when the Police removed the illegally installed statue on the Trincomalee beach on the orders of the Minister, some people actually thought that the government was acting properly without any racist mindset. Alas! That was short-lived as the Minister demonstrated in Parliament that this government’s feet are also made of clay,” the former MP said in a statement on ‘X’.

Sumanthiran further pointed out that the government’s rhetoric of treating all the people equally fell flat on its face when the Minister unashamedly announced in Parliament that the statue was removed due to security concerns and that it would be reinstalled today. 

“The NPP government stands exposed as a racist, Sinhala Buddhist nationalist force, no different to any other government in the past. All Tamil members of the NPP, including Trincomalee MP and deputy minister @arunhema19, must resign forthwith,” he added. (Newswire)

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa questioned the police intervention during a tense situation at the Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Bodhiraja Vihara in Trincomalee yesterday, warning of fueling communal tensions.

Citing Chapter Two of the Constitution, which grants Buddhism a foremost place while ensuring respect for other religions, he emphasized that the temple, established in 1951 and registered with the Department of Buddhist Affairs in 2010, holds legal status as a place of worship. 

MP Premadasa condemned the police for issuing orders regarding the placement of Buddha statues and the construction of Dhamma school buildings, warning that such actions could fuel communal tensions.

Addressing the Parliament today, he stated that if there is any issue regarding the matter, it should be resolved through dialogue with the three Chief Prelates of the Buddhist sects. 

“Sending police to disrupt development activities is unacceptable, and under whose authority were such orders issued? If the government does not understand the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, it should read it again,” he added. 

The Opposition Leader also criticized the Speaker for blocking opposition MP Dayasiri Jayasekara from raising related concerns, calling it a violation of democratic rights.

Minister of Public Security Ananda Wijepala today clarified that a tense situation was reported in Trincomalee yesterday over the placing of a Buddha Statue at a Dhamma School in a Buddhist Temple in the area.

Addressing the Parliament today, Minister Wijepala said the statue was immediately removed by the Police following the tense situation.

He further said that, however, steps have been taken to place the statue at the Dhamma school today, and that special police protection would be provided for the safety of the statue. 

“The statue was removed yesterday after the Police had received information on possible vandalism. The tense situation had arisen due to the Buddha statue. We have issued a directive to the Police to place the statue at the Dhamma school today. A special security plan will also be implemented from today for the safety of the statue,” he said.

Minister Wijepala further clarified that the Department of Coast Conservation had filed a complaint with regard to a restaurant operating in the area, claiming that it was illegal.

He said the Police are taking the necessary measures to initiate legal action in this regard. “We can only act in this regard based on the court’s directive,” he added.

Batticaloa District MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam, who previously praised the minister for removing the statue, slammed the latter for backtracking on his actions, using vandalism as a reason. 

“A major U-turn by the Public Security Minister this morning. He has walked back his earlier stance and now says the illegal temple will receive police protection, claiming the statue was removed only to prevent vandalism. It’s an embarrassing climbdown, and it’s obvious the minister and the government have given in to nationalist pressure,” he said, in a post on ‘X’. 

Slamming the minister’s reference to vandalism, MP Shanakiyan pointed out that the Tamil Community has never destroyed religious shrines, not even during a 30-year war.

“And let’s be honest. Tamil people have never destroyed religious shrines, not even during a 30-year war. Using “vandalism” as an excuse is not just unconvincing, it’s an insult to a community that has always respected places of worship,” he added. 

A video circulated on social media shows a Buddhist monk stating that the site is a religious heritage location. However, it was also reported that the land falls under the jurisdiction of the Coastal Conservation Department, and complaints had been filed regarding unauthorized activity on the premises.
