18 Aug 2020

  • Inquiry after two staffers arrested with narcotics
  • Police probe ongoing on the arrested persons
By Maheesha Mudugamuwa An internal inquiry has been launched by a special team of experts attached to the Government Analyst’s Department after the arrest of two persons, who have been working at the Department’s laboratory, for the possession of heroin on Monday (17), according to Deputy Government Analyst D.H.I.W. Jayamanne. He told The Morning that a special team has been appointed after a discussion held yesterday and the team will interrogate all employees who have been working with the two arrested employees to evaluate the possibilities of such an incident occurring. The team comprises the Government Analyst, Deputy Government Analyst, and two other senior officials of the Department, according to Jayamanne. As explained by him, the two employees were not working on a full-time basis but were called to work when required and when there were not enough officials to conduct the relevant task. “They joined (the Department) around one-and-a-half years ago,” he added. However, the Deputy Government Analyst was of the opinion that it cannot be possible. Nevertheless, he said that since a separate police investigation was going on, an internal inquiry will be conducted to assess the possibilities. “The Police should inform the Head of the Department when they arrest a government employee. So we are waiting till the Police confirms,” Jayamanne said. The Athurugiriya Police has arrested a laboratory employee of the Government Analyst’s Department in the Moratuwahena area in Athurugiriya with nearly Rs. 300,000 worth of heroin. The Police have seized 18 grams of narcotics that were in the possession of the suspect. It was reported that another person has been identified during the interrogation of the suspect and a special police team has been deployed to arrest him.
