Danuna Tilakaratne, the Arms dealer son-in-law of Fonseka is getting cornered

Danuna Tilakaratne, the Arms Dealer son-in-law of the defeated common opposition presidential candidate Sarath Fonseka, is reportedly seeking ways and means of slipping out of the country.

Latest reports revealed that he along with Major General Mahesh Senanayake (still in service) was seen visiting lawyers offices to obtain legal opinion to get out of the country to escape investigation and court action against him.

It is also reliably learnt that Danuna Tilakaratne has today a date with the police.

Even earlier he was first summoned by the Police to call over on 20th of January, but for some unknown reason the police had reportedly said that they are busy on the scheduled day they invited him to record his statement and had asked Danuna Tilakaratne to show up on a different day.

Once the notice was sent to Danuna Tilakaratne to come over for questioning on January 20, Sarath Fonseka in an election rally had publicly warned that senior officers of the Armed and the Police forces who are engaged in a campaign to harass his son in law will have to find new jobs after January 27.

Similarly speaking at a press conference held at his residence in Colombo on January 28 , he said his and his son-in-law’s passports have been blacklisted preventing them going abroad and a group of CID officers had come to the residence the previous day afternoon to arrest Danuna Tilakaratne, his son-in-law.

Recently Asian Tribune also alleged that Danuna Tilakaratne was also involved in the supply of arms to the LTTE and also a few foreign terrorists organizations were in touch with him for the supply of arms.
