Srilal Priyantha, a Sri Lankan investigative journalist who is currently staying in Geneva, Switzerland, says that the ‘Sonic Sonic’, who is controversially talked about in connection with the Easter attack, is Police Inspector Senarath Bandara, who was in charge of the Muslim Section of the State Intelligence Department at that time.
Joining an interview with an internet channel, he says that there was close contact between Police Inspector Senarath Bandara and Saharan’s group.
On one occasion, when the investigators including Shani Abeysekera, who was leading the investigations related to the Easter attack at that time, tried to get a statement from the police inspector Senarath Bandara, who appeared under the pseudonym ‘Sonic Sonic’, a Deputy Inspector General of Police, who was attached to the State Intelligence Division at that time, made a telephone call to Shani Abeysekera and asked him to stop the relevant questions.
