No charge against KP proven - AG

No charge against KP proven - AG Featured

The attorney general today (31) informed the court of appeal that no criminal offence charge has been proven against former leader of the LTTE’s international wing Kumaran Padmanathan alias KP.

The JVP in January filed a case, seeking an order to the government for the arrest of KP, and leveling around 190 charges against him.

The CA ordered the AG to submit an investigation report.

Petitioner’s lawyer Sunil Watagala said it was unfortunate the AG has failed to find proof for charges against KP, although the government had revealed his involvement in many crimes.

The state counsel requested a six week period to make further inquiries and report back.

Considering the submissions, the CA ordered the AG to submit a report before October 28.
