Police find Dematagoda Chaminda’s pay-list! Featured

The underworld leader by the name Dematagoda Chaminda, who is in remand custody in connection with the killing of Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra, has bribed police and prison officers to the tune of more than Rs. 01 million in the past five months alone, police say.

Police have found a list of the names, including a prison superintendent, following the arrest of the person who is in charge of Dematagoda Chaminda’s financial affairs.

He was taken by the anti-vice squad during a raid at Samanala Uyana at Kirimandala Mawatha in Narahenpita, along with five grams of heroin.

The man is said to be a close associate of a supervising MP of the former regime, through whom he had got to know Dematagoda Chaminda.

A 158-page book found from him details how Rs. 30,000 was given for a New Year party for prison officers and four police stations are paid by the underworld figure.

Everytime Dematagoda Chaminda is visited at prison, a sum of Rs. 30,000 is taken there and out of which Rs. 5,000 paid to the prison officers who coordinate the meeting.

Furthermore, lawyers fees amount to Rs. 500,000 and a Buddhist monk given Rs. 150,000.

The book also details Dematagoda Chaminda’s connections with major businessmen.
