20. Thilanga Sumathipala graduates from remand jail to be Ranil's organizer of Anuradhapura
The saga of 42-year-old, "jewellery-dripping" Thilanga Sumathipala, onetime head of Telecom, Cricket Board and his family bookie, hit international headlines, when the Attorney-General issuedonNovember 27, 2003. The London Daily Telegraph wrote: "The charge, under the Immigration and Emigration Act, was that he had assisted Dammika Amarasinghe to travel to England under a false passport to watch the 1999World Cup. Amarasinghe was being prosecuted for a series of contract killings and attempted assassinations when he was shot dead on Friday.
On the same evening of Nov 27 police visited Sumathipala's house in Colombo but could not find him. The president of the Sri Lankan Board was not seen in public again until Dec 8, when he was discharged by an acting magistrate. It so happened that it was a Poya Day, or Buddhist holy day, and the prosecution was not present. A group of lawyers objected and signed a petition to the Chief Justice charging Sumathipala'slawyers - one of them, Ananda Wijesekera, the president of the Sri Lanka Bar Association - with gross misconduct.
On Dec 10 a magistrate's court overturned the discharge and issued Sumathipala with a summons. On Jan 1 the CID obtained a warrant to search the cricket board's headquarters for evidence. On Jan8, Sumathipala failed to appear in court: his lawyers claimed that he was too ill and had been admitted to the Apollo hospital in Colombo. The judge, T B Boyagama, ordered that he be examined by a judicial medical officer who was to report back tomorrow. The judge also called for Amarasinghe to be brought before the court tomorrow.
On Friday morning Amarasinghe was shot dead while attending another trial in the Colombo courts. The gunman, wearing a lawyer’s robes, pulled out a pistol from his socks; two others were injured. He was found to be an army deserter who had a brother, Bogama Sanjeeva that Amarasinghe was accused of killing."
Commenting on these bizarre happening the Sunday Leader editorialized (January 25, 2004): "The nation has seen enough of this cat and mouse game. It is time not just Sumathipala, but all those who have been aiding and abetting him - lawyers, doctors, magistrates, Sri Lanka Cricket officials and politicians - were exposed and brought to book. Sri Lanka has no room, especially in public life and certainly not in sport, for men such as Sumathipala. The writing is on the wall also for Sports Minister Johnston Fernando, well known to be a close associate of the Bookie: unless he seeks Sumathipala's removal, and right quickly, it is more than likely that he too, will be dragged down like the others. The net is drawing closer around this fraudster, and any big fish near him are likely to be swept up init."
Leader also reported: "Meanwhile there is yet another power base operating from a house down Ward Place working round the clock to help save Sumathipala. The campaign manageress of this exercise is an intimate associate of the Prime Minister (Ranil Wickremesinghe's) Private Secretary, Sudath Chandrasekhar, who too resides at the same house and whose medical needs for example are attended to by this 'busy body,' as identified at Temple Trees.
Using the influence of the Private Secretary, the Ward Place 'busy body’ has been phoning Interior Ministry Secretary, M. Junaid and top cops at the CID to provide assistance to Sumathipala with a view to subverting the process of justice.
So finally what happened to this Sumathipala?
Ranil Wickremesinghe appointed him as UNP's Anuradhapura organizer.
Leader and UNP presidential candidate Ranil Wickramasinghe will address the maiden rally of newly appointed Anuradhapura organizer Thilanga Sumathipala tomorrow ( Colombo Page - October 21, 2005).
Mr. Sumathipala has organized a public meeting tomorrow to mark his political life. Earlier, the UNP leadership had refused to accommodate business tycoon Sumathipala in the UNP and criticized his political activities.
However, former Minister Ravi Karunanayakehas blasted the UNP leadership for giving an organizer post to Sumathipala.
“He was the same person who sponsored Premier Mahinda Rajapaksa’s dinner meeting with political activists at ‘Temple Trees’,” the UNP Kotte organizer said. (Colombo Page - October 21, 2005):
With the blessings of Wickremesinghe the "jewellery-dripping" Thilanga Sumathipala stormed into Anuradhapura last week with a caravan of 12 jeeps, one ambulance and 18 bodyguards behind and in front of him.
Footnote:
The man who killed Dhammika Amarasinghe, a notorious underworld figure and key suspect in a headline-hitting case, has claimed that it was a contract job, according to police.
The assassin, identified as Army deserter Chaminda Udaya Kumara was interrogated by the Colombo Crimes Division who produced him before the Colombo Magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya yesterday. He was remanded till January 23. The suspect was brought under heavy police and prison guard protection to the Chief Magistrate’s court in Hulftsdorp. He was later transferred to the Welikada remand prisons. During the interrogation which went late into the night, the suspect had claimed that he was given Rs. 300,000 to kill Dhammika Amarasinghe.(January 1,2004–Sunday Times).
