Operation to arrest Gota’s additional secretary who fled the country
It is reported that assistance is to be sought from Interpol to arrest Ms. Damayanthi Jayaratna who secretly fled the country while serving as the Additional Secretary to Minister Vajira Abeywardene.
Damayanthi Jayaratna has been accused of being involved in corrupted Avant Garde dealings while working under former Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. She is also accused regarding a fraud of more than Rs.2000 million in bringing explosives to security sections and an investigation regarding this has been initiated by the Special Presidential Investigation Unit.
