CID probes scandal at Muslim institution
By Vanessa Sridharan
The head of a leading Muslim institution has come
under CID probe after he allegedly misappropriated a land belonging
to the organisation.
It is alleged that the president of this institution
has appropriated a 20-perch land allocated for an international
school project at Wellawatte in a questionable manner and later
sold it to the same organisation for Rs. 6 million.
The allegations first surfaced in an internal
probe presided over by a retired judge who called into question
the incomplete and unregistered deed.
A complaint to the CID was made by a former member
of the institution after the recommendations of the internal probe
were not honoured by the president.
