The police said it had received a complaint from the army stating that former Army Chief General Sarath Fonseka was harboring a group of army deserters at his official residence. Police media spokesman SSP I.M Karunaratne said two police constables had visited the house in Colombo together with the Military Police to investigate the claims but had returned as the house was closed.
Sources close to the Retired General and now Presidential Candidate told Daily Mirror online that at least 150 personnel from the Military Police had attempted to check the Buller’s road residence of Fonseka saying that they have evidence that a number of army deserters are under his protection and serving in his security unit.
However the officers and the security personnel at the former General’s house prevented the military police personnel from entering the residence, sources further added.
