Police suspect that the shooting death of social activist Dan Priyasad was a plan by Kanjipani Imran, an organized criminal living abroad, or another criminal network living abroad.
Dan Priyasad had previously worked against the activities of organized criminals, including Kanjipani Imran, and had been severely critical of the group in his political role, the report said.
Dan Priyasad has also held a protest against these criminals in front of the Ministry of Public Security. He has also filed a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department, demanding that they be brought back to the island immediately.
Meanwhile, an unconfirmed audio clip is circulating on social media, in which underworld leader Kanjipani Imran claims to have killed Dan Priyasad.
