In connection with the ongoing investigations into the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks, Officer-in-Charge of SIS's 'Q' Division Ranjan Senaratne Bandara was arrested on Easter Sunday. Additional Solicitor General Dileepa Peiris requested a travel ban from the Fort Magistrate Court, leading to the presentation of the prosecution and defence teams.
The prosecution, led by Additional Solicitor General Peiris and DIG Shani Abeysekera, focused on two matters: Major General Suresh Sallay's hospitalization and allegations linking SIS officers to the Easter Sunday bombings. The prosecution criticized the hospital for delayed medical report submission and argued that the suspect's fasting led to cardiac complications.
The defence strongly objected to the conspiracy allegations and maintained that there was no evidence connecting the SIS officers to the Easter Sunday attacks.
