A senior officer of the Criminal Investigation Department stated that the documents required to bring the drug underworld leader Nadun Chinthaka alias Harak Kata, in the custody of the Dubai Police, to Sri Lanka are currently being exchanged under the extradition law.
Necessary measures are taken via the International Police Branch of the Criminal Investigation Department. The official said that the reports regarding the crimes against Chinthaka have been submitted to the Dubai Police.
The government of Dubai would hand over Chinthaka to the Sri Lanka only after studying these files and taking into consideration Chinthaka’s plea not to extradite him from Dubai.
According to sources, Chinthaka is currently getting the support of a top law firm in Dubai.
According to the Criminal Investigation Department, a Sri Lankan delegation should go to Dubai only after receiving an official notification from Dubai.
Although an official notification has been given about the arrest of Chinthaka by the Dubai police, there has been no official notification from them about handing him over to Sri Lanka.
