This follows an order issued by Acting IGP Chandana Wickremaratna to the head of the CID, Senior DIG Ravi Seneviratna.
Ven. Abayathissa Thera is reported to have made the revelation while taking part in an anti-Wahhabism rally on 4 July at Nugegoda.

But Amarakoon,
This is a serious allegation that the Mozzies are executing their mates.
Hope they find the truth and if found correct, it is a serious matter.
Dear Mr. D. Boomdell, yes this is a serious matter indeed. But this is Sri Lanka! Normally accuser is in the receiving end. Remember Dr. Safi who accused of 4,000 forced sterilizations after T-section surgery (some 900 moms came forward) by harming the Fallopian tube of Sinhala mothers. The journalist and the Police officer brought the allegation were questioned for hours and they were accused for instigating violence against Muslims. Eventually the CID became medical experts and gave a verdict that the accused Doctor was innocent and he was framed by Sinhala racists!
