A written bail application was filed in Colombo Chief Magistrate court today on behalf of the three suspects including former army intelligence officer who were accused of attempting to send a cap with LTTE logo to London via a Courier service in April 2016.
Suspects, Jesuratnam Jegasamson, Mahadevan Prasanna and Subramaniam Nagularasa alias Nagulan were now in remand custody for almost nine months over the incident since the Attorney General's opinion is pending.
According to the prosecution, upon information received to the Narahenpita police, the so-called cap was found at a courier service in Narahenpita area.
During the investigation the police apprehended the first two suspects and later revealed that the third suspect, Nagulan had given the alleged LTTE cap to them in order to send it to London.
According to the defence counsel, Ajith Prasanna and Suranga Danthanarayan, third suspect, Nagulan, was an individual who provided secret information to the Army during the war period and later served as an officer attached to the Technical Engineering Unit of the Army base in Nandikadal.
During the interrogation of the third suspect it was revealed that he had attempted to send the so-called cap to one of his friends, Kedishwaran, in London.
According to the third suspect's statement, kedishwaran had requested him to send any sort of flag, T shirt or cap with LTTE logo in order to demonstrate them to LTTE supporters who are operated and collecting ransoms in London from Tamil people.
The Defence counsel moved to remove the allegations leveled on the suspects under the Prevention of Terrorism Act by the prosecution.
Considering the defence request on granting bail for the suspects, Colombo Additional Magistrate Aruni Attigalle directed the TID to submit its stance on January 25 in court.
