A 48-year-old woman named “Elizabeth”, who is believed to be a close associate of the large-scale drug trafficker “Kimbula Ela Guna” has been arrested by the Police Special Task Force (STF).
According to Police, the suspect was reportedly running “Kimbul Ela Guna’s” drug syndicate.
She was arrested by the STF on Monday (11 Dec.), during a raid conducted in the Meethotamulla area in Wellampitiya.
Police also found 07 grams of methamphetamine (‘Ice’) in the suspect’s possession at the time of arrest.
In February 202, ‘Kimbula Ela Guna’ was arrested in Chennai, India in an operation jointly carried out by Interpol, Indian Police and local investigators after obtaining a Red Notice on the suspects.
Intelligence officers had uncovered that Siththaiya Gunasekaram alias “Kimbula Ela Guna” had fled to India as investigations were launched to arrest him in connection with the suicide bomb attack at a public meeting that injured former President Chandrika Kumaratunga on the 18th of December 1999.
