On the instructions of the Attorney General, the magisterial inquiry conducted on former media spokesman of the LTTE, Daya Master, was today concluded by Colombo Chief Magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya.
 
The CID informed the court that the Attorney General have already  filed indictments against Daya Master at Vavuniya High Court over the allegations under Prevention of Terrorism Act for detaining civil citizens in LTTE custody as hostages during the last period of war.Thereby, the prosecution informed court to terminate the inquiry. 
 
Earlier, the magisterial inquiry was initiated by the CID against two suspects, Daya Master and George Master (former interpreter of LTTE) after they had surrendered at the Omanthai Army Post in April 2009. 
 
However, on an earlier occasion, George Master was discharged from the inquiry on Attorney General's instructions.
