The Bureau had received information that the individual was trying to flee the country.

The man claimed he had contacts with the Prime Minister’s Secretary and Cabinet Ministers, and that he was a close friend of Higher Education Minister Wijeyadasa Rakapaksha’s brother-in-law, in an attempt to gain the confidence of his victims.
