(UTV | AMPARA) – A Registrar of Marriages who gave refuge to Zahran Hashim, the mastermind of the Easter attacks, has been arrested.
Police Spokesperson, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ajith Rohana said today (31) that the suspect had given refuge to Hashim.
Reportedly, a clash had taken place in Kattankudy in 2017 between two groups which involved Hashim, which resulted him and four others to take refuge at the residence of a Registrar of Marriages in Oluvil.
DIG Rohana added that the Registrar of Marriages had promoted extremism and provided refuge to Hashim on several occasions.
Accordingly, the Terrorism Investigations Division (TID) arrested the 55-year-old Registrar of Marriages in Oluvil last night (30).
