Gajanayaka's Rs. 2.5 million credit card reveals many secrets...

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has questioned the credit card section heads of the Bank of Ceylon over a credit card issued to a former Air Force official named Gajanayaka who is now in custody for the charges of abducting and extorting money from the Tamil and Muslim businesspersons of Colombo.

The value of the credit card is Rs. 2.5 million. A senior official of the bank has recommended issuing a credit card to this value to Gajanayaka. The investigation teams have traced that he has transferred money through this credit card to an account in Bahamas, a Caribbean island. It is reported that the suspect has not revealed the owner of the account.

Gajanayaka was arrested due to the local and international pressure over the government's lack of interest for taking action to stop the abductions and extortions. United National Party MP Lakshman Senevirathna revealed the relevant facts first in the parliament. Then the government submitted a no-confidence motion against the UNP MP. Gajanayaka was arrested, freed and re-arrested due to international pressure.

Reportedly, Gajanayaka revealed a number of names of the government leaders who had connections with him. Hence, even the security forces personnel doubt that the investigations will be undermined.
