Sri Lanka arrests most-wanted woman in courtroom murder case

Sri Lanka arrests most-wanted woman in courtroom murder case

COLOMBO : Sri Lanka’s most-wanted woman has been arrested in Nepal for her alleged involvement in a brazen courtroom murder of a suspected top drug dealer. Ishara Sewwandi, aged 25, stands accused of disguising herself as a lawyer to smuggle a revolver inside a hollowed-out copy of the Criminal Procedure Code into a Colombo court last February. An accomplice also dressed as a lawyer allegedly used the weapon to shoot dead Ganemulle Sanjeewa, who was facing drug-trafficking charges at the time. Police spokesman F. U. Wootler confirmed Sewwandi’s arrest alongside five other individuals in Nepal this week. Wootler stated that Sewwandi will be extradited to Sri Lanka to face murder charges. “We received support from Interpol to locate them, and IT and intelligence support and operational assistance from the Nepali police,“ Wootler told AFP. Authorities had offered a 1.2 million rupee reward equivalent to $4,000 for information leading to Sewwandi’s capture. Police investigations revealed she initially escaped to neighbouring India by boat before travelling to Nepal. Nepal Police spokesman Binod Ghimire confirmed the arrest of six individuals during a four-day operation. “It was done in close coordination with Sri Lankan authorities,“ Ghimire told AFP. The alleged mastermind behind the courtroom assassination was previously arrested in Indonesia and extradited to Sri Lanka in June. Wootler indicated that another 22 Sri Lankan suspects linked to drug-related murders are believed to be sheltering abroad. Authorities maintain contact with Interpol to track down these remaining suspects. – AFP

India court allows green firecrackers for Diwali despite pollution

India court allows green firecrackers for Diwali despite pollution

NEW DELHI : India’s Supreme Court has permitted the use of some firecrackers in New Delhi during the Diwali festival, easing a blanket ban despite the capital’s unhealthy winter air pollution. The court said controlled use of less-polluting “green firecrackers” would be allowed for limited periods between Saturday and Tuesday. These green firecrackers were developed by federal research institutes to reduce particulate and gas emissions. During Diwali, a major Hindu festival of lights, widespread bursting of firecrackers adds to the already high pollution levels in Delhi. The city, home to some 30 million people, routinely ranks among the world’s most polluted capitals. Thick smog shrouds the city each winter during the peak pollution period. Concentrations of PM2.5 regularly surge to more than 60 times the World Health Organization’s recommended daily limit. A ban on the use of firecrackers during Diwali has been widely ignored in past years. In an effort to balance cultural celebrations with urgent environmental concerns, the court said only licensed manufacturers can produce certified green crackers. Sales will be limited to designated outlets, with each product bearing a QR code listing its chemical contents. Online sales remain completely banned. Police have been instructed to form patrol teams to ensure compliance and take action against violators. Pollution control agencies have been ordered to monitor and report air quality levels during the festive period. Environmental activists have in the past expressed strong scepticism about the actual efficacy of less-polluting crackers. They argue that green firecrackers still pose significant risks to public health and the environment. On Wednesday, harmful PM 2.5 particles surged to 75 on the air quality index. This level is three times the WHO’s daily recommended maximum exposure, according to international monitoring company IQAir. – AFP
