Police headquarters said that that there was irrefutable evidence to link Attorney-at-Law, Hejaaz Hisbullah, who had been recently taken into custody by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), in connection with the 2019 Easter Sunday suicide bombings.
Police spokesman Attorney-at-Law SP Jaliya Senaratne denied accusations the arrest had been made without sufficient evidence.
The suspect’s father, Naina Hisbullah, recently filed a Habeas Corpus application against the arrest, made about a week before the first anniversary of the Easter Sunday attacks.
Law enforcement authorities said that a group of civil society activists, too, recently issued a statement drawing the attention of the Chief Justice to Hisbullah’s arrest over the alleged involvement with those responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks.
SP Senaratne said that the suspect had been directly in contact with those responsible for the worst atrocity committed, since the successful conclusion of the war, over a decade ago. Among those who endorsed the statement was Dr. Radhika Coomaraswamy, JVP-led Jathika Jana Balavegaya (JJB) National List nominee for the 2020 general election Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, civil society activists Ruki Fernando and Dr. Carmena Gunaratne, former Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka member Ambika Satkunanathan, and Prof. Maithriee Wickremesinghe.
Responding to criticism of the lawyer’s arrest, SP Senaratne told The Island yesterday that Hisbullah had been taken in on charges of conspiracy and aiding and abetting in the Easter Sunday carnage, after comprehensive investigation.
Asked whether the attorney-at-law had been involved with Riyad Bathiudeen, brother of former minister and Samagi Jana Balavegaya parliamentary polls candidate Rishard Bathiudeen, arrested by the CID also in connection with the Easter Sunday attacks, SP Senaratne said they weren’t connected though arrested over the suicide attacks.
Both Hisbullah and Bathiudeen were arrested, in Puttalam, on the night of April 14.
The near-simultaneous suicide attacks killed nearly 270, at six locations. The blasts wounded over 400 persons. Of the six locations, the Shangri-La Hotel, in Colombo, was targeted by two suicide bombers, including their leader Zahran Hashim.
SP Senaratne said that Paniyudeen Mohammed Riyad Bathiudeen, 41, was taken in from No 11, 10th Cross Street, Maraiikar Mawatha, Puttalam, and Hisbullah from No 02, 3rd Cross Street, New Settlement Road, Puttalam.
In addition to the CID, the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) is conducting inquiries into the Easter Sunday carnage. According to SP Senaratne, the Colombo Crime Division (CCD), too, was engaged in the investigation.
So far, about 120 persons had been taken into custody in connection with the attacks. Of them, about 40 were being held under Detention Orders and were under investigation by the CID, and about 80 by the TID, SP Senaratne said.
The government proscribed three organizations, including the National Thowheed Jamaat (NTJ) over the attacks.

Fastest breeding religion aka religion of voilence have multiplied enough and wanted to make Sri Lanka a mussie country.
This dirty, disgusting, sub human trick of multiply, multiply and outnumber trick was used to turn old Buddhist iran,
afganisthan, pakisthan, bangladesh, malaysia and indonesia to mussie countries within a few hundred years of their
arrival in those countries with their baby machine wives. The dirty, disgusting, subhuman trick worked in the olden
days since natives didn’t realise until they turned up on their doorsteps to murder them after multiplying like ….
But the subhuman trick won’t work in this connected world since people going to find out what the menace are
up toand fight back to save their country. This fast breeding only going to end up in massive blood bath like we
saw recently mussie trying to take over Buddhist Myanmar after creeping over the border from bangladesh
and multiplying and multiplying.
Buddhism, the only true religion in the world, disappeared from India since it didn’t fit the society with animal
sacrifices, caste system etc and people quickly reverted to religions of conveniences which don’t regard sins as
sins. Then invading mussies killed all the Buddhist monks and set fire to Buddhist universities (a world first) and
destroyed Buddhism completely. This is what the fastest breeding religion aka religion of utter violence mussies
know the menace have multiplied enough and want to start the blood bath now to make Sri Lanka a mussie
country.
Anti Sinhalese, anti Buddhist, anti Sri Lanka, minority worshiping, Mother Lanka dismembering GooandPee aka
UNPatriotic_rats promoted mussies starting with traitor alugosuwas thambi mudiyanselage jr@, lk porisada R@,
Pol Pot r@ni_leech wickrama Sinhala killer (to Sinhalese Buddhists only of course since no one utters a word, no
UN, no AI etc. etc) for mussie votes. The mussies propped up every government since Sinhalese are divided
thanks to GooandPee traitor thieves, landed powerful ministries and promoted even more mass breeding.
Mussies even imported more breeders from maldives, Myanmar, afganisthan, pakisthan etc and settle them
down as if we don’t have enough of the menace already. Thanks to our traitor Sinhalese deshapaluwan,
specially GooandPee aka UNPatriotic_rats Sri Lanka going to be a melting pot since fastest breeding religion has multiplied too much.
Stop baby machines now, bring in new laws to limit 2 children max to a family. Sinhalese couples working and
struggles to bring up one child while mussies who are mostly in businesses have baby machines at home
churning out 1 vote every year. Automatic birth control for the Sinhalese and baby bonanza for the mussies.
What’s more Singala munia shop in lebbes shops saying mudalali is so nice and lebbe add/spray some sterile
agents as ‘bonus’ to sterile the Sinhala modayas. Sinhala wake up and save your country from the fastest
breeding religion aka religion of violence. Wipe out UNPatriotic_rats aka GooandPee along with its henchmen
church acolyte A K de Lapaya from the political map of Sri Lanka for good!
